golden gate bridge

Another street car
At Sausalito
Just before going onto the Golden Gate
At Crissy Beach

Today we hired mountain bikes from Ride and Roll and rode them to the Golden Gate Bridge. The ride across the bridge was fantastic, you are 68 metres above the water and the pylons are about 150 metres above the road way. The view back across the bay to San Francisco is also very nice. We took a lot of photos of the bridge as you get so many different views as you ride along. We ended up about 9 miles from San Francisco in a place called Sausalito where we had fish and chips for lunch. After lunch we caught the ferry back to pier 1. There is a street car museum near pier 1 so we took a look at that, it was interesting to see all the old tram and street car memorabilia. We then rode the bikes along all the piers back to the bike hire place. After dropping the bikes off we caught the street car back to the Hostel. Once again we took advantage of the $5 meals at the hostel. Not sure what we have planned for tomorrow as this will be our last day before we pick up the hire car.

Hi Richard and Bronte,
Sounds as though you are having a very good time and lots of exercise. The bike ride on the bridge sounded cool and also Alcatraz. Seems that the food is not that expensive. You are in luck at the moment with the Aussie dollar not much less than the USA. Thanks for the perfume, it is my favourite. Will look you up again in another couple of days. Lots of love Mum xx
