As I told you we explored the city by foot on day 1. To see all the attractions such as the cable cars, Fishermans wharf, Transamerica Pyramid and so one it was quite easy to make by foot. Well it took us some time but well we had time.
What I really liked was the biketour we did on the next two days.
We rented some bikes (50$ per day) at the ferry building where the ferries leave for Tiburon / Sausalito. First we headed to the Golden Gate bridge alongside the piers. As it was so nice and easy we crossed the bridge and headed to Sausalito. Watch out for pedestrians and cyclists on the bridge. It can get really crowded and the road is quite narrow!
As we entered the town of Sausalito we were quite thirsty so we went to this bar to have a glass. They have live concerts and the barkeeper is a cool guy. So go and check it out.
Then we continued to Tiburon. A small town with lots of huge houses and nice pools. From Tiburon we took the ferry passing Alcatraz back to the pier were we took our bikes.
This route is very easy to make and quite interesting as you pass the bridge, the small towns and beautiful places alongside the sea.
On day 3 we continued our bike ride trough the city. First we headed to Golden Gate Park. At the Japanese Tea Garden we bumped into a tour guide that was looking for any participants for a tour around the garden. She explained us how the Golden Gate Park was created and how the Japanese Tea Garden was built and grew over the years. Thank you for this amazing and free tour!
After we went up the tower of M. H. de young Memorial Museum to enjoy the gorgeous view of the city.
We followed the road in direction of the ocean and all of a sudden there was fog for the first and only time during our San Francisco stay. It got cold and nasty so we went for lunch. After that the bike lanes to us back to the pier via China Beach and Presidio.
