San Francisco - exploring

Today we spent the day exploring the city using our five day open top bus tickets...coming in very handy!
First stop, Fisherman's Wharf to see if we could get tickets to Alcatraz....no luck today but we're booked for tomorrow. Wanderered around Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 to check out the sea lions that have taken up residence there.
Also had a look at the Musee Mechanique....full of old coin operated slot machines and games....quite interesting.
Did the obligatory scary cable car ride up and down the hills, packed in like sardines....hilarious, I thought our driver looked like Morgan Freeman perhaps moonlighting??...even talked like him...he may have been a little on the short side though.
Again hopped on the bus this arvo for a trip up to Golden Gate park...pretty Victorian wooden houses to see on the way as well as streets we hadn't yet seen..
Two more sleeps....and counting...
