The plan for the day was to walk from the hotel, via Chinatown and North Beach, to the Coit Tower, to get a view over the city. Unfortunately the nighttime fog had not cleared by 10:00 so we decided to skip the tower and proceed to the next part of the plan, which was to hire bikes and cycle to the Golden Gate Bridge and beyond. Cycling turns out to be an excellent way of seeing a lot of SanFrancisco in a relatively limited amount of time. It did not take too long to get to the bridge, with its numerous photo opportunities. I had to contend with a puncture before we could continue on our way.It is an easy ride across the bridge into Marin County and then down into the quaint bay-side village of Sausalito, where we had lunch in a very pleasant seafood restaurant. After lunch, we continued around the bay, mostly on cycle tracks, taking in the scenery and enjoying the perfect weather.
Arrived at Tiburon with plenty of time to catch the 5:00 PM ferry back to San Francisco. A great day out. Highly recommended.
