San Francisco - Day 2

The weather is the same but the forecast is better for tomorrow. It needs some finger-crossing I guess.
Our first stop in the morning were so called "Painted Ladies" the old victorian houses on Alamo Square. They are really beautiful. The most photographed spot in SF.


After that we went to the Pier 41 where I bought tickets for Alcatraz for tomorrow. Actually I am very happy about it as I missed it last time and I do want to see it. Al Capone....hmmm.

Then we drove over the Golden Gate Bridge, which was in fog and therefore we did not enjoy it that much, to the Muir Woods - Red Wood National Monument - kind of Sequoia trees.

The climate in San Francisco is really funny and the weather unpredictable. Just a two miles off the bridge it was sunny and beautiful so the visit to Muir Woods was nice.


The trees here belong to the longest trees on Earth. Incredible.

On our way back we stopped at the Fort Spencer which was used as the protecting fortress during the WWI and WWII. There is a beautiful view over the bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.

And the last stop today was Golden Gate Park where apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger also contributes as a governor and its Japanese Tea Garden. Really beautiful place.

The Tea Garden.
