Man, it is quite some way down from the middle of the bridge. I did spot an emergency and crisis counseling phone. I wonder how often that phone is used. Personally I felt a bit sick when I looked down to the water and had to step back from the edge. Got some great photos though. Was glad when we were back on Terra Firma.
We took public transport to the bridge, and that was an interesting experience. Grant googled what bus (buses) to take. The first bus worked out correct, but the second bus never showed up (and wasn't on the list at the bus stop. So Grant did another search and found another bus that would take us a bit closer. The 3rd bus was yet another ghost bus, so again Grant search for another route.... And Hurray it turned up. But since we didn't have a timetable for our day it wasn't really a problem. Actually it was quite fun.
On the way back we only had to take 2 different buses. That was because we decided to go back to the Fishermans Warf. Had a coffee before going back to the hotel (for a well earned rest...) The bus took us through China Town. Will try to get there before we leave for home.
After a short rest we went for a walk around the area close to the hotel, and we came across a Converse store. To tempting...So yet another pair of shoes. Kim gave me a new nickname: Eva Emelda Key, and maybe it is correct.... Oh well, Grant got a nice pair of shoes as well.
On the way back to the hotel we spotted a girl wearing a t-shirt with the word 'Weirdo' printed on it.
Seriously, who want to wear a t-shirt with that printed on it?
We were told before we came to San Francisco that there is a lot of people living on the street here and we can confirm that it is correct. It is quite sad actually, but also a bit confusing when you see that some of them have dogs and cellphones. Doesn't really add up for me.
Enjoying our time here but for the first time on this trip we actually are looking forward to go home. It will be nice to not live out of suitcases.
