This day in San Francisco was completely under the sign of sightseeing and we are using the Muni buses, cable- Cars and trams criss-crossed all of San Francisco GEDU.
Golden Gate Bridge
As the weather was excellent today, the first thing we went to the Golden Gate Bridge. Once there, we had to find the bridge first, as though seen through San Francisco itself was not a cloud, the Golden Gate Bridge was completely shrouded in fog. This is because the mist is down from the open sea in the bay and once there gathered, before he then dissolves.
We walked across the bridge anyway and were rewarded for our effort because the fog was completely gone after about half-way and released the view of the bridge.

from the bridge itself, we had a great view of the city, but disappeared again behind the fog.

Since we were already in San Diego in a Japanese garden, and the entrance is now no longer free of charge is ($ 7), we have saved us a visit and would rather be a bit like the green area walk. With a museum, an observatory, several small lakes, a botanical garden, a Dutch windmill and bison there are also plenty of other things to discover.
Alamo Square Alamo Square on
are the most photographed Victorians in the city. This is my opinion, not because the houses are particularly beautiful, but rather extends to the skyline Downtown on what the photos make it more interesting.

When we looked down on Alamo Square, the road we could still admire the Civic Center, that by its design significantly from the rest of city is different.

went Next, then to Japan Town, which has not for us really paid off, because in addition to the Pagoda Japantown consists only of the Japan Center, a covered shopping district, which do not give of a lot. went
Coit Tower
With a couple of times then transfer it to Coit Tower.

The observation tower, which was set to the Telegraph Hill and such a fantastic 360-degree panoramic views of San Francisco and the Bay Area is, Lillie Hitchcock Coit dedicated to leaving the city after your death $ 100,000 to beautify the cityscape.

We think we had enough today scoured sites, so we left the day with a dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and a shopping spree in Union Square end.
Alcatraz
For the last day of our stay in San Francisco, we have saved up a visit to Alcatraz. went by ship it over to the island, both from water and from the island we had a great view of the city.
Alcatraz itself was much smaller than expected, the island is really just a small rock. In our investigation course was then very easy to see why the island for reasons of cost was given up: many of the buildings have capitulated to the weather and look so old and worn out, a visitor may find that not even allowed to step foot inside. The highlight of the island tour was of course the 45-minute audio tour of the cell blocks, where one or the other story was revealed on Alcatraz.

The atmosphere at Alcatraz was very depressing, but had the experience can fail without the bulk of tourists even more intense. Particularly spectacular was the view of the cells, have taken place in which attempts to break out.
After three hours, we have again made the trip to the mainland, have risen in the car and have San Francisco to four days behind us.
Our journey took us next to the South Bay Area in the midst of the Silicon Valley, where we visited friends in Sunnyvale, who emigrated to California. There we spent a really nice evening, among other things, we were in a small restaurant where we ate for the first time Pastrami (first cured and then smoked beef).
Very tasty.
