      Heading south - Das goldene Tor !

      13. mai 2016, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      ab nach San Francisco , home of the Giants, der Schwulen und der Seal-Kolonie...

      Unsere spontane Zuflucht in Fort Ross, die Oregon-Küste und Nordkalifornien hinter uns gelassen habend, machen wir uns auf zum nächsten Stop, San Francisco.
      Doch bevor wir das das goldene Tor durchfaren machen wir noch in Stinson Beach ein kurzen Halt um unser leicht verspätetes Frühstück einzunehmen. Ein Besuch im Exil-Hippie Örtchen Bolinas wird auch noch eingeschoben - Dieser Ort verwirrt mich - von was leben die Leute hier - ein verlotterter Skater, der ein Buch mit auf dem Rücken verschränkten Händen hält, rollt an uns vorbei. Zwei Altachtundsechziger sitzen mit ihren Kaffeetassen auf einer Bank und reden wahrscheinlich über die alten Tage - eine Bolivianerin verkauft irgendwo im Nirgendwo traditionelle Kleidung und überall wehen süßliche Duftwolken an einem vorbei...ziemlich friedlich, trotz der unmittelbaren Nähe zur Großstadt - ein Paralleluniversum :)
      Weiter geht es zu einer atemberaubenden Aussicht auf den Mt. Tamalpais (Tam). a
      Als hätten wir die letzten Tage nicht schon genug Serpentinen zu bewältigen gehabt, wird der 4W Jeep wieder zu Höchstleistungen getrieben - Gott sei Dank hat das Teil "ohdemeddick".- der Blick vom Gipfel aber ist die gerechte Belohnung auch wenn der Jeep nicht viel davon hat ;)
      Kurzer Stop in Sausalitos - sehr tourimäßig und weiter...kurz anstellen am Parkplatz, dann ein Pflicht-Foto von dem roten Giganten.
      Endlich überqueren wir das Tor in die Zivilisation - für mich aber mit einem weinenden und einem lachenden Auge - die rauhe Natur in Oregeon und die Redwoods können einem zum Nachdenken anregen, wer sind wir ? ein Augenzwinkern in der Erdgeschichte...
      Jetzt heißt es aber erstmal Grostadtdschungel - einmal kurz durch die Lombardstreet - noch mehr Serpentinen :) yay
      Dann ab zum Hotel - Auto ins Parkhaus( 90 bugs für 3 Tage), ein wahres Schnäppchen...aber das ist leider der Nachteil, wenn man in Downtown unterkommt...
      Nach einer kurzen Verschnaufpause machen wir uns dann mal in Richtung Downtown auf, hüpfen auf eine Cable-Car und lassen uns die Hügel hinauftragen - Fishermans Wharf wird nur kurz angekratzt, wobei wir dann, angezogen von einem Geruch - Duftnote nasser Hund mit leicht fischigem Abgang angezogen, bei den seals doch länger verweilten, diese fetten Klopse sind einfach zu witzig an Land :)
      Schnell noch was essen - Burger mal zu Abwechslung ;) und zurück ins Hotel um für morgen fit zu sein.
      Jetzt höre ich mir noch etwas die Geräuschkulisse der Strasse und die Musik aus der benachbarten Karaoke-Bar an und hoffe schnell schlafen zu können - das "Applausooooo" des Moderators wird bestimmt helfen...gute Nacht Nimmerland, everybodies darling der Westküste !

      Angus turns 18

      8. desember 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

      This morning we went to Sear’s Fine Food for breakfast. We all had pancakes - Ian had the Swedish Pancakes with crispy bacon, and Angus and I had the buttermilk pancakes, Angus with strawberries and me with bananas. Tonight we will be going to an Italian restaurant to celebrate further.Les mer

      Downtown and Little Italy

      7. desember 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      We had planned to revisit Haight Ashbury and the Castro today, but I had a bad night last night and am still not feeling 100%, so we decided to stay downtown and just wander around the streets. We decided to get Angus a Daniel Wellington watch for his birthday, and there is a store downtown, so we visited the store and Angus chose a watch. He really likes watches, and is getting a bit of a collection.

      We then headed up Grant and Kearny, and made our way to the City Lights Bookstore where we bought a couple of books. Afterwards, we walked up Stockton to Tony's Pizza, and decided to have lunch there as it had been recommended to us by Charles our tour guide, and others, as a great place for pizza. It was delicious. They have about six ovens - wood fired, coal fired and convection in a range of sizes. Tony has also won the world championships for his Margherita in Naples, and he only makes 73 of these each day. We were fortunate to be able to order one. The reason he only makes 73 a day is that he uses a special flour, and one box of this flour produces enough dough for 73 pizzas.

      We then headed back to our hotel for some R & R via the Blue Bottle cafe for a coffee - well worth the detour. Tonight we had dinner at Cafe de la Presse, a French restaurant, which was very nice. When we got back to the hotel, we Skyped the grand parents so they could wish Angus happy birthday and I think they were both happy they got to speak with him.

      Angus's Birthday Dinner

      8. desember 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

      I had given Angus a list of restaurants to select from for his birthday dinner. He decided on E TUTTO QUA, which was on located Columbus Street and across the road from the City Lights Book Store. We arrived just before 8pm, and were warmly greeted by the Maître D - I mentioned we were celebrating Angus’s birthday, but that was it. Our table wasn’t quite ready, so we were asked to take a seat at the bar. The place was so noisy you couldn’t hear yourself think. We ordered drinks, and were ushered upstairs about 10 minutes later. All the staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. When we ordered dessert, the waiter asked me Angus’s name, and when they brought dessert they had a candle in his and sang him happy birthday, with the whole restaurant joining in - I am pretty sure he enjoyed it. Over the evening there were at least three other birthdays celebrated.

      On the way back to the hotel, we walked through Chinatown, which was practically deserted, which made it an easy thing to do as the footpaths are very narrow.

      We have done most of our packing, so not too much to do in the morning. We hope the LA fires don’t cause any issues with flights. Atlanta Airport had to cancel 900 flights today due to snow. It is crazy, southern states like Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi (to name a few) are experiencing snow, and Southern California is experiencing wild fires with humidity at 1-2%, which is so low.

      Alcatraz

      6. desember 2017, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Today we set off just before 9 am, to head down to Alcatraz Landing near Pier 33 for our trip out to Alcatraz. We spent a couple of hours on Alcatraz. We did the opposite to most of the crowds, and walked around the gardens and parade ground, and made our way up to the cell blocks via stairs - it was much more peaceful and enjoyable, and less crowded.

      By the time we started our self-guided tour, the crowds had lessened considerably. We made our way through the various cell blocks, the library, visiting area, isolation, administration area, exercise yard, and dining room. During the tour we heard accounts of the harshness of “The Rock”, and the attempts to escape (most were unsuccessful). We also got to meet prisoner #1259, William G. Baker, a former inmate at Alcatraz who had written a book and was there to sign them. He ended up on The Rock because he had escaped from other penitentiaries. He is now 80 years old, and “out to pasture”. I asked him if he had another book in him, and he said he has sketched out an outline, but he said he is busy signing books and traveling, so needs to allocate the time. His first book took him 2 years to write.

      We headed back across the Bay, and had lunch at Boudin, and then we did a quick wander through Pier 39, before walking back to our hotel, with a stop at See’s Candies to stock up and sample a couple of things😃

      As Ian is a little under the weather, he had a rest at the hotel while Angus and I went to the movies to see Justice League. We had an early dinner at a local diner, and a quiet and early night. We walked about 23,000 steps today and we are all a bit tuckered out.

      San Francisco

      19. januar 2018, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      We had the best day in San Fran today! We started our day at Alcatraz and did an audio tour of the cells wearing head phones, which told us all the stories and events of what happened. We then headed back on the ferry just in time to head to the fisher mans wharf near pier 39 for some fish and chips for lunch.
      After lunch we headed fraught to the Golden Gate Bridge to get a photo so we could tick another thing off our bucket list ✅ once we finally got to see the bridge without any fog(carl) lying around we headed to Hyde st to catch the tram up to union square where we did a bit of shopping. We walked back to Lombard st where he worlds craziest st lies with all its bends and on the way walked through China town. We eventually made it back to where we fist got on the tram and then headed towards where we are staying to get ready for a Chinese dinner!
      All in all it was an amazing day exploring all that San Fran has to offer 🙌🏽

      Exploring the Castro

      8. desember 2017, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      After wandering around Haight-Ashbury, we headed over to the Castro District, which required some backtracking and climbing up and down some fairly steep inclines and declines. I think I preferred walking up hill, as it put less stress on my legs. We passed by Bueno Vista Park and some lovely examples of the "painted ladies". The Castro District was an interesting area, with rainbow flags everywhere - they even had rainbow stripes on a couple of the cross walks. We went past Harvey Milk Plaza, and some very interesting stores. There were so many stores dedicated to pampering pets - predominantly dogs - and we went past two hair salons for dogs in the Main Street as well as a puppy day spa. There was also a broad range of cuisines available. After wandering around for awhile, we decided to call an Uber (we love it) and headed back to our hotel via a Japanese cafe for a light lunch, as we will be having a nice Italian meal tonight to celebrate Angus turning 18.Les mer

      Die Straßen von San Francisco....

      27. februar 2019, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      ...sind das Revier von Lieutenant Wille und seiner Assistentin Inspector Carmen. In der 1. Episode begeben sie sich zuerst auf die Jagd nach dem besten Frühstück der Stadt. Die Vorbereitungen dazu haben etwas länger gedauert und es wurde ein Brunch.
      Als wir nach dem Besuch vom Foundation Café (organic, seasonial, healthy) wieder auf den Straßen von San Francisco waren, staunten wir nicht schlecht. Aus allen Richtungen strömten Menschen, hier im Financial District, auf der Jagd nach ihrem Lunch. Es gibt zahlreiche Restaurants, mit Essen aus aller Herren Ländern, vor denen sich lange Schlangen gebildet haben. Viele nehmen ihr Essen in Plastik- oder Pappboxen mit. Es gibt wohl keine Kantinen. Der Verbrauch von Einwegverpackungen und Wegwerfgeschirr ist hier, wie auch auf Hawaii enorm.
      Wir sind auf dem Weg zum Hafen bzw. zum Ferry Building/Fisherman’s Wharf und machen noch einen Abstecher zum Telegraph Hill. Eine von über 40 Erhebungen im Stadtgebiet. Wir wollten die neblige Lage mal von oben checken. Es geht hier steiler hoch, als auf der Hasenbergsteige. An der Aufzugführerin vom Coit Tower, der auf diesem Berg steht, ist eine echte Fotografin verloren gegangen. Wir hatten viel Spaß mit ihr.
      Nach vielen Erlebnissen, Sehenswürdigkeiten und 22.493 Schritten haben wir noch die historische Straßenbahnen (Muni oder F-Bahn) für den Rückweg in die 7th Straße benutzt. Da die Golden Gate Bridge heute im Nebel lag, versuchen wir es morgen noch einmal.
