We only had a day in San Francisco but we made the most of it. The Alcatraz tours were sold out so we did a harbour cruise instead in order to see it from the outside at least.
This is the famous Golden Gate Bridge - or as much as we got to see of it anyway - apparently thick sea fog is normal in San Francisco.
The old cable cars were fun, running on the steep San Francisco streets that you see in the movies.
Our motel was an experience. We stayed out of town in Oakland to try to save some pennies but we gathered when we got there that it was in the 'not so great' side of town, which is probably why it was so cheap. The receptionists sat behind bullet proof glass, there was an armed guard at the entrance to the carpark and signs in the room advised you to keep the door locked and dead bolted at all times whilst inside the room. Nice! Our stay passed uneventfully though so the security measures are obviously working.
