We got up at a reasonable time time and back on to the bus heading off to Lake Tahoe, out of the mountains and towards the coast,San Francisco. 
Closer to the city we were kindly greeted by the first traffic jam of the entire trip and also the roaring of the Navy’s Blue Angels shooting ahead above us. We ended up at a hotel and we were all unceremoniously unloaded from the bus alogn with all our bags. I went down to the hostel to sort my self out before joining the rest of the group at Pier 39 (the one with all the Sea Lions( for a boat trip. 
The boat trip went right around the bay – around Alcatraz and under the Golden Gate bridge as the sun was setting and I managed to get some beautiful shots.
After that went to eat clam chowder in a bread bowl which was horrendously expensive. Went for a few drinks and said bye bye to a few people of the group and bye bye to our Tour Leader. The girls got chatting to some Navy Officers and got a cool pic in a Navy Officers hat. 
whom I found out were here for Navy Day, hence all the ships in the docks and the Blue Angels earlier in the day. Went back to my hostel for a night in a real bed an not on the floor.

Nice shots! The ones with the sun in them are especially great, and all your photos are so sharp! Sounds like a great trip, although I know what you mean about things being expensive — if your soup would have been in a regular bowl it probably still wouldn’t have cost any less, lol!
traveling and photos are like tomatoes and cheese 🙂

What a wonderful series of photos!! the bridge, the sunset, the US flag … really nice!
Fabulous shots!
Its not over yet! I should have called the title end of the USA leg! The journey continues onto two more continents! Haven’t had the chance to write them up .. stay tuned for more 🙂
I love the shots from and of the boat. I love to zoom in to the working parts of something so large and photograph it that way. Hope you enjoyed your trip!
