First of all: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, little sister!! All the best for your 28th birthday and lots of kisses from San Francisco ♡♡♡ .... belatedly through the blog 😍
Today we explored Alcatraz, visited cells, listened to stories of former prisoners and gained insights into the 'life' on Alcatraz. This tour is highly recommended as it is informative and exciting. We booked the first tour of the day to avoid the crowds. While Stefan patiently listened to what the ranger had to say, I went ahead and had the cells all to myself. It was worth it!!! I realized this even more when about 15 minutes later, 279 more tourists stormed the building. After about 2 hours, we returned to the mainland.
A short stop at Pier 39 and then we continued with the bus from the East Coast to the West Coast of San Francisco. Despite the low-hanging clouds, we hiked along the Lands End Trail and enjoyed great views of the rugged Pacific and GGB... but from the other side.
Back in the city, we visited the Painted Ladies and had dinner at a BBQ restaurant. 3 fantastic days in San Francisco are now behind us..... but no reason to be sad, because tomorrow we will continue our journey with the rental car.
Regards, Steffi
