Alcatraz
September 22, 2009 9:02 am
Well have to say that the weather was amazing in San Francisco. We woke up early, had a bagel and coffee for breakfast, just to introduce Lynn to the typical American workers breakfast, then hopped a very old trolley car down to the wharves where our boat to Alcatraz was awaiting. Have to say that it was a pretty amazing trip out there and a rather spooky place to be, knowing all the crazies that had been locked up in the cells here.
When we got back to the mainland it was off for a prawn lunch then a ride on the Cable Cars. Lynn decided that she wanted to hang off the side of the cable car as we hooted up and down the hills – getting the wind in her hair! All topped off by a trip into China town where we went necklace shopping and negotiating with the locals for great deals!
Topped off by the obligatory cocktail at 7pm – this time we introduced Lynn to the Gimlet! (equal parts gin and roses lime cordial)
Anyway, here are a few pictures to keep the world happy
