Muir Woods and more of San Fran


Pier 39 at Fishermans Wharf. The sea lions are smelly and tough but interesting. They are pretty aggressive and come to the wharf every day and mostly sleep and bullly each other.


Lombard street is fun, colourful, neat and very windy. Not from wind but from being the crookedest street in the world. We walked down it twice, only a little up it and drove slowly down it.


The streets are amazing. So hilly. Everything on the movies is true! We went up and down, up and down, up and down! Even drove down the street in the movie "Bullet" Laz had a ball!


Fishermans wharf is a buzz. Alive and bustling. Nice eateries.

We had a ball on the trams. They run in the main part f the city and connect to the main places to go. We had an all day pass and went from end to end. You have to hang on but can hang out the sides if you want. Guess who did!


Some of the old houses are so beautiful and there are heaps of them. Of course we only went into the old parts of the city.

The rest of the view including the bridge on far left and Alcatraz in front, If you look hard!


The view from our hotel window was amazing. We had a room on the 11th floor and could see Alcatraz, one part of the bridge and across China Town, The Marina, Fishermans Wharf areas. All the old parts of the city.

The amazing Golden Gate Bridge. We drove over this as soon as we got to San Francisco on the way to Muir woods. By the time we headed to the hotel back over the bridge, an amazing fog had started to come in and we could hardly see in front of us.

Playing with our new camera. Still practicing. Might take a bit. This was a pretty place.

Pacific Ocean at Muir Beach at sunset. Taken after the pic below. Still learning this program!

The giant redwoods at Muir woods are stunning and very humbling. Got there late after flying in and before booking in to our hotel so it was getting late in the day with reduced light.
