San Francisco Part 1

The final part of our America adventure was in San Francisco.
We arrived late on a Friday night, so we went straight to our hotel. Once we'd checked in we all crashed on our pillows as soon as our head hit them.

Day 1: Tour
On our first day, we walked to Union Square to get on our tour bus. Once we finally got seats on a bus, we set out exploring the city.

Our guide taught us all about the different neighbourhoods and history of San Francisco.

We went over the Golden Gate Bridge, and it was windy! My new hat almost blew off!

And then we went on a trolley tour of the small neighbourhood across the bay, Sausalito. I wish we'd had more time to explore- it looked like such a beautiful place.

After Sausalito, we went to Fisherman's Wharf, and Pier 39. It was crazy busy, but such an amazing place! We got some delicious crepes for lunch and then went for a walk around the pier.

We had an early dinner, at boudin bakery. The food here was really good, and quick! I had the tomato sauce bowl, takeaway. If I went back I would get the eat in version because it actually comes in a bowl of sourdough.


After early dinner, we went on the night tour. This tour took us over Bay Bridge and to Treasure Island, for some beautiful views of the city skyline.

Day 2: Coit Tower, Chinatown, Lombard Street, Ghiradelli Square.
On our second day, we met some friends, and they took us on a walking tour. First up was a walk through Chinatown.

Then we walked up, and up, and up. Up a lot of hills and stairs to get to Coit Tower. (The view was worth it)

And then we walked slowly down through North Beach (with a lot of Italian restaurants) to Ghiradelli chocolate square. The chocolate was amazing, I should've brought more home!

When we were walking back towards the hotel, someone had drawn this heart in the sky with a plane. 

We all loved the parts of San Francisco we had seen so far!
I can't wait to share the final part of our journey next Monday!
