If Carlsberg made Cities....

They would probably be like San Francisco. It Features:

A city park 20% larger than Central Park (Which we walked the length of)
Two Iconic Bridges with some of the largest spans around (Which we cycled across)
Miles of pristine beaches (Which we wandered along and lunched by)
Rocky headlands and bays (Which we scrambled around to ruins of baths and tunnels through rock faces)
A large Hippie area (Which we took in and probably got passively high in)
Great Hostels (Which give you free evening meals and hold hilarious halloween parties)
A large red light district (Which also has many of said hostels in...)
An Italian Quarter (From which we rented said bikes)
A large Chinatown (In which we bought souvenirs)
A Japantown (Use your imagination)
A large area of piers and wharfs including 'Fisherman's Wharf' (From which we saw sealions, massive Pelicans and Alcatraz and went on 19th century cargo tall ships)
Many hills and backstreets (Unlike any other American City we have seen)
Many national park areas (In which we slogged up hills to get some of the best vistas to date before flying down at break neck speed)
Masonary Towers on hills (Which we climbed to)
A plethra of forts and battlements (Which we explored)
A large gay area (Which we did very little in)

And lots more besides that we didn't have time for!! This may be the best place we have been to date. Wow.

P.S. Photos finally been updated again, see right.
P.P.S 'Nice Penguin man. Hey, buddy, have you touched this penguin?'

  3. Hi Stuart - Have been following your journey on a weekly basis - what a fantastic time you two are having and I cannot beleive how much you have packed into your first couple of months. Just wanted to wish you an advance "Happy Birthday" in case I am not logged on for the actual day - I am absolutely certain you will enjoy yourself wherever you happen to be by then. Take good care and I look forward to continuing to follow your trip over the coming weeks and months. From "Auntie" Carole and Derek xxx

  4. Hey guys,

    Fantastic you say the sealions at 39 Pier. They're California sea lions, definatly a top urban wildlife sight; you can even see them on Google Earth sitting there (you need to turn off 3D buildings or they get in the way, but turn on the ARK.ive layer in global awareness to help you find them).
