After a very scary landing at the airport where I was sure we were going to land in the sea! I’ve just about recovered. (the runway starts where the sea ends)

So today was our first full day in California. We wanted to photograph the Golden Gate Bridge and so headed out in lovely sunshine and clear skies.

We drove up the surrounding hills to get the best views and these are some of my pictures

We went to Fishermans Wharf and wandered around the piers and saw the maritime museum.

The cable cars go up the steep undulating roads and we drove up and down them it was great fun although we drove very slowly. there were great views of the city.

The breakers and waves on the Atlantic were powerful and I have a little video of them to show when I get home.

We saw pelicans eagles grebes herons cormorants and many gulls.

I love San Francisco 😉

Missing you all but enjoying being away, its strange its like we are just continuing our other holiday in US without being home for 6 months….
