San Francisco, California \/\/ 5 December <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We caught the ferry across the bay to explore San Francisco for the day. First on our list was Alcatraz, another short ferry ride. Afterwards we stopped by Pier 39, then jumped on the historic cable cars to explore. What a gorgeous city! With all the other stops on our travels I had underestimated San Francisco. Such a pretty city to spend a day in, lots to see and easy to get around. Alcatraz was definitely a highlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferry from Vallejo Ferry Terminal\u2026<\/strong> The ferry ride was about 45mins and we went through heavy fog entering San Francisco Bay, then it cleared again. So strange how the weather changed so quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
