10 January 2008 - We were in San Fran for three days after Las Vegas. San Fran has got to be one of my favourite US cities. It is a very quaint place with old trams, hilly roads, character Georgian houses (remember Full House?) and yummy sourdough clam chowder. We saw the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and visited Fisherman's Wharf and Ghiradelli Square (where the original Ghiradelli chocolate factory was located).
Sorry, it's really taken me a while to finish this travel blog but I hate doing half-baked jobs so I will persevere...Ok, I've uploaded a few pics of our Alcatraz visit. It was interesting to see where the likes of Al Capone and the Birdman (well-known notorious criminals) were imprisoned. Pretty eerie seeing the "A" Block and the "D" Block where highly dangerous criminals were kept off in maximum security from the other criminals. Just to finish off on a lighter note in San Fran, we went up to the top of Macy's and tried the famous Cheesecake Factory's Godiva cheesecake! Funny enough, we also bumped into Bianca (Garry's friend from med school) and her mum at Bloomingdales in San Fran. Bianca has been training in Toronto and was holidaying in San Fran with her mum for a couple of days. What are the chances of bumping into Perth people on the other side of the world?! Quite high apparently!
