Day 36 San Francisco
Today we had decided to take a boat trip around the harbour and bridges but when we got out to the Golden Gate Bridge it was half covered in mist - a bit disappointing but apparently quite common. It certainly made Alcatraz island look a bit foreboding and eery.
One bonus of the trip was that we saw some America's yacht practice as they are holding the event here later in the year. Those yachts certainly move along! After our boat trip we decided to have lunch at the historic Fisherman's Wharf.
Our next trip was to take an open air city bus tour - not usually our thing but we wanted to see the important buildings of the city. We saw the civic centre, opera house, museums etc but we also went over the Golden Gate bridge and by this time the mist had cleared but it was certainly a windy experience!
Another good day but our holiday is rapidly drawing to a close as we fly to Heathrow tomorrow and I don't know when the next posting will appear.
What a fantastic holiday and thanks so much for all the blogs and photos which we have enjoyed each day. We look forward to your next trip! Hope you have a good flight back to the UK. Love Ian and Ruth xx
