Golden Gate Bridge

It may be just a bridge but it needs a few photos. No selfies which might have made us unique. We weren’t the only ones to think it was a nice day to walk over the bridge. Lots of cyclists too. Most on hired bikes with very rusty cycling skills. Chaos. The cyclist/pedestrian lane is somewhat narrower than the ones on the Forth Road Bridge.

Only walked to the midpoint and back. The other half was going to be very similar to the first.

Bussed back to Fisherman’s Wharf. Very touristy. Had a fishy lunch in Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurant on Pier 39.

Walked to Coit Tower. Only slightly disappointed that the lift wasn’t working. 13 floors. Nice views though once the breathing had calmed down and the red mist had cleared.

There are about 200 driverless taxis in San Francisco, all seem to be operated by Waymo. Naturally we did not part with our cash. Indeed, as is our custom we never used any taxis at any point on our trip (although we did try damn hard to use one in Memphis).

Back to the hotel and got yesterday’s footprint posted.

Out to Chinatown for dinner.Read more
