San Francisco

Day 9

Birthday, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, Laundry, New Phone !!!!!!

Today was my 35th birthday, ow so so old!! Anyway, headed out to Alcatraz today, one of the must do things while visting San Francisco.  After a bit of cloud this morning, it soon brightened up to be another hot day.  We headed out to Alcatraz at 930 am, along with 500 other people on the boat.

From the movie, the actual cell

How I would have looked me and Al Capone would have got on well!

After hitting the prison we had fish and chips at the codfather, a british run place near the peer, it was amazing.

Best food so far

Then we headed back to do some emergency laundry. I was at the end of my clothing, there is only enough stuff to last a week.   In fact undwear surplies only last 5 days.  yeah yeah i know its day 8, I had hand washed stuff in New York.  Luckily the San Remo has washing facilities.  All fresh Stuff, amazing!!



Then headed out to Lomard Street, this is a famous twisty street in San Francisco and also looked at some of the famous trams/ cable cars.  The photos do not do justice on how steep the streets.

Lombard Street

In the evening headed out for some beers and nachos yum yum.  Also my new phone arrived, a samsung s 3 mini, yes, thanks amazon!!!!
