US - San Francisco

Frisbee on Morro Breach

The week after my return to LA from Canada stig had to travel up to San Francisco for a week long meeting. It was also school break for Nicholas so we all seized the opportunity and came along for the ride. We drove up the coastal highway to our first desination, the town of Morro Bay. We spent a couple of hours running round on the beach and sand dunes.

Lunch at Lucia Point

The next day we carried on up the coast and stopped for lunch at Lucia Point for lunch.

The Whanau: Stig, Joko, Nicholas and Criffer at Lucia Point

China Town, San Francisco

Joko, me and the boys spent a couple of days touring in and around San Francisco. The weather was good half the time.

Alcatraz
I went out to Alcatraz the famous island prison in the middle of San Francisco Bay. It is one of the major sights to see in the town and consequently it was packed, even when I went which was off peak tourist season and a rainey gloomy day. The weather could have been better, but then what better way to see the classic icon of dispair.

Golden Gate Bridge from Marin County
Luckily the sun came out the next day when we went to see the Golden Gate Bridge, it is a massive monument and great asset to the city. It was not far behind Alcatraz in the tourist popularity steaks and the footpath that ran across it was heaving. I am guessing it must be one of the busiest bridges in the world with both commuter and tourist traffic.

Nike Missle Site walk in LA

Back in LA we had an afternoon fee before we headed off on our next excursion, Hawaii. So we thought we would get some excercise and head up in the Santa Monica mountains to see the Nike Missle Site.
