This is the bus stop at Marin Park where we were staying.
Our first tour stop was the Golden Gate Bridge, so named because it spans the Golden Gate straits, not because of it's colour - it is painted International Orange.
We were there!!!
We had many other picturesque stops, such as Twin Peaks, Ocean Beach, and Golden Gate Park. Our most interesting stop, however, was a visit by ferry to Alcatraz Prison.
Al did the audio tour and said it was a dark, damp hole that he would have hated to be imprisoned in.
This was the bad behaviour cell, where they were kept for a week at a time, then let out for 1 hour to shower, and sent back again, until their time in there was done.
This was a normal cell - with en-suite facilities.
Uh-oh! I've been a b-a-a-a-d girl.
