10. Day - Day 10

It was actually not a tiring day, but we still fell into bed totally exhausted. In the morning I had a very successful online session: 1.) Paid the buses; 2.) Paid the Golden Gate crossing fee by car; 3.) Solved the Hop on Hop off bus ticket :-) Ultimate penny pincher :-) We did a city tour on the bus, quite touristy but it gave a good impression of the city. In Chinatown, we ordered Peking duck, but Zoë preferred white rice :-) We went to the Golden Gate Bridge 2 more times, but the fog was so thick that we could hardly see our hand in front of our face.... At 6.30pm we went to Alcatraz. We enjoyed an incredibly good guided tour and were deeply impressed. If Zoë hadn't been so cold, she would have liked to stay until the last return and absorb all the information. She really loves history.

Theoretically it was not a busy day, but we still crashed exhausted to bed in the evening. In the morning I had a rather successful online session: 1.) I managed to pay the parking ticket; 2.) I paid the Golden Gate fare for driving through; 3.) I booked the Hop on Hop off Busticket online. That way we saved some serious money :-) We did the city tour on the bus which is rather touristy, but it gives a good flair of the city. For lunch we ordered royal Peking Duck in Chinatown, but Zoë stuck to white rice :-) During the day we drove twice to the Golden Gate bridge, but it was so foggy that we hardly could see our hand... At 6.30pm we then embarked to Alkatraz where we enjoyed an incredibly good guide - we were deeply impressed. Unfortunately Zoë was freezing, otherwise she would have loved to stay until the very last return to soak in all the information. She thoroughly loves history!
