Day 2 - San Francisco

פֿאַרעפֿנטלעכט: 18.08.2018

Hello everyone,

today we started relatively early. Despite being awake for more than 24 hours straight yesterday, we were both wide awake at 6 o'clock this morning. Effects of jet lag? The excitement? We don't know... but we started the day early.


We started with a walk in Golden Gate Park, which is right across from our current accommodation. Then we took an Uber 'into the city'. The first stop was the famous PIER39, where we watched the seals:

After that, we strolled around the pier and checked out all the shops and attractions. Shortly after, we headed to the Golden Gate Bridge. We spontaneously decided to ride our bikes there. Except for the last few meters, which were quite challenging, it worked out well. The weather was perfect for biking - 20°C and blue sky.

The fog was a bit low today, so we didn't have an unrestricted view of the bridge and San Francisco, but it was enough for some good photos :-) (see above in the general pictures).

After this big tour, we visited Lombard Street (steep street with many tight curves) and the Painted Ladies (famous row of houses in San Francisco). These are the hot spots you should visit when you're here. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for a cable car ride today.

Other than that, we explored S.F. in general, especially the typical steep streets. It was really fascinating to stand here - in the places that you only know from TV.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I went to a 7D cinema :-) and got the first place (out of 14 people): 'WINNER' with over 40,000 points. It was a very interesting experience and a lot of fun. The woman who gave us the winner photo later said to Luisa: Oh, you have to be careful now, your boyfriend knows how to handle weapons :-) well... if she only knew... :-)
Oh yeah... the film was about shooting zombies with a 3D glasses, moving chairs, wind, water, etc.
Let's hope the lucky streak lasts until Vegas.

All other impressions can be found in the general picture gallery above. Tomorrow we will continue towards Yosemite National Park. We're excited.

Enjoy browsing through the pictures.
