Are you going to San Fransisco? be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...

Our first day in San Fransisco. after a nice breakfast in the Hotel we started walking the streets of San Fransisco. We walked down Market Street in search of our first excursion: the Bay City Tour, starting from Pier 39. It was quite a walk, thru Chinatown and some other neighbourhoods... we finally took a cab for the last bit in order to make it in time for our city visit in a dubbledecker bus! A witty black busdriver entertained us all along... We slightly followed the 49 mile scenic drive, but not entirely, 'cause the city made some traffic changes.. We also saw the orange painted Golden Gate Bridge, consumed by the fog! After the bus trip, it was time for the boattrip around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate Bridge. Pretty chilly experience.. Like Mark Twain used to say: My coldest winter was a summer in San Fransisco". Actually we were pretty lucky because we had a most warm and sunny day... after the excruciating boat trip, we walked pier 39 in search for some decent grub... We finally went into the most famous "Crab House". The waiter wore a T-shirt saying: "Got Crabs?" we didn't bother to reply. After the funny chat with the witty waiter (darn! They're all so witty here) we ate the most amazing killer Crab and a half. The garlic sause was deliciously mingled with the crb meat! After that we decided to walk balk to the hotel! This eventually became a two hour walk and we saw the neighborhood change a bit. So now we know that The Good Hotel is located in a Baaad neighborhood! hoodlums, airheads, dopefiends, hobo's, trashcan experts were roaming the streets. We made it home alive and once more crashed exhausted into our bed
