Our first full day in San Fran!
We walked miles today (approximately 8!), checking out the city Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf. Had a look at heaps of shops, but somehow managed to resist (limited space in room and backpacks!). This will not last though! Prices are definitely cheaper than in Australia - depressingly so. I am pleased to report that Uggs here are made in China, but there are some pretty funky ones! And they call wool 'fur' so the label proudly states that it has 'fur from lambs' used in/on the Uggs.
The walk out to Fisherman's Wharf was lovely and we saw lots of cool buildings. We had clam chowder for lunch and onion rings. The clam chowder was served in a sourdough bowl, which we ate. I believe we were the only people in the whole 'Chowders' restaurant who ate all of theirs! It was pretty tasty, the chowder and the bowl! Very filling. That was on Pier 39, where there were heaps of tourists but lots of cool shops and restaurants. We also walked past a bakery that had an alligator bread thing in the window!
We saw Alcatraz from a distance and checked out the sea lions. They were so funny, climbing all over each other and 'orr, orr' ing. There were heaps of them, just lying on pontoons and sleeping, chatting and having the occasional swim.
Saw the cable tram... and the hundreds of people queuing to catch it. So we walked back. Up a hill, through China town and via Macy's. Fun day, but my feet are sore now!!
