On our second day in San Fran Peter wanted to visit some of the Navy ships open for inspection so I joined Marie and Mal on a ferry ride over to Sausalito. The weather was perfect…. sunshine and blue skies!
Sausalito is across on the other side of the bay and takes about 30 minutes on the ferry. Travelling across the bay we had fabulous views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge without the fog and mist. Once on the other side we perused the shops and found somewhere overlooking the bay for lunch.
After lunch we caught the local bus back into Union Square for a spot of shopping… mainly at Ross for any bargain we could find and Britex for craft supplies. The public transport system is very easy to use and very cheap and more so if you are a senior!
We went our own ways as we all had different shopping missions. After watching a Michael Jackson look alike on the footpath outside Ross I tackled the shops as well as taking in the sites such as the grand old Westin hotel where we stayed on our last visit.
Around 7pm I headed back to the ship via the street trams for our 8pm meeting with our friends for dinner. The plan was to go to Fisherman's Wharf to find a crab meal which we did… we were not disappointed!
Our last day in San Fran was only short as we were all due back on the ship by 12.30.
Another very enjoyable day was had by all in San Francisco.
Five days at sea before our next port Kauai, Hawaii.
