San Francisco

A view of San Francisco from Coit Tower.

The Golden Gate Bridge as seen from the ferry early in the morning coming across the bay from Sausalito with the morning fog whirling about.

A view of the bridge later in the day when the fog has cleared.



The streets of San Francisco.  Only Wellington in New Zealand has such steep streets.  The two cities are not unlike each other in so many ways.

 

A San Francisco trolley bus passing one of the pagoda like structures at the start of Chinatown.

A colourful building in Chinatown.

A less colourful but nevertheless imposing building also in Chinatown.  We had a simple, inexpensive and delicious lunch at one of the many back alleys.

A distant view of Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the world.  They had to make the roads so as to reduce the steepness I think.
