    Golden Gate Bridge

    February 8 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

    After another pretty good night’s sleep and a bit of a sleep in, we got up and had breakfast before heading out the door Golden Gate Bridge bound.

    The plan was to walk to and over the bridge and head down to a town called Sausalito for lunch and get the ferry back to Fisherman’s Wharf. When we planned out our trip last night we realised that to get to Sausalito it was another over an hours walk up and down hills so we decided not to do that.

    Lucky we decided not to do that bit of extra walk because with walking to and from the Golden Gate and out again to get dinner, we walked over 22 kms today. So needless to say our legs and feet are hurting!

    It is so beautiful walking everywhere, as you get to take in some much beautiful scenery which you would miss if you were driving everywhere.

    As we arrived at the bridge, we had lunch at the Roundhouse Cafe. Dave had a chicken and salad sandwich with a cappuccino and I had Greek yoghurt, fruit salad and gluten free muesli (wasn’t many gf options).

    Then it was time to tackle the bridge. It was quite a busy day at the bridge, people and bikes everywhere. The beach was also full of people.

    We set off at 9.30am and got back to our room at 4.30pm.

    Another fantastic day all round.    Read more
