San Francisco - To Do
San Francisco - To Eat
An
amazing serene place which dwarfs you as
you stand beneath the canopy. Well worth the travel down, and even more so if
target to attend one of their free tours, which runs at intervals throughout
the day. Who knew theres so much to know!

Getting Around:
The corner house became a make-shift spot from anyone to pay tribute to the late Robin Williams,
who brought so many laugh and smiles to everyone in the 80s and 90s. The home
is currently inhabited by a doctor who mentioned in an interview that he
doesn't mind the pilgrimage, especially with such a sudden passing of, funny man
Robin Williams.
Bath
house at Cliff House

Visited On 18Oct2014
Take
a leisurely stroll down to the remnants of the base house for picturisque shots
and feel for the ocean. Ladies are better to have proper foot wear on as the
slopes are a little steep and with broken rocks covering the surface.

For
this day trip, as it was a weekend, cars for single day hire were far and few
to be found. we had to go to alternate car rental companies. (Click here for

huge car to accommodate all 7 off us.
For
the following account of the day below, we pushed off from Dollar Car Rental
shop at 1015hrs. And returned back to the hotel after a late dinner at approximately
2330hrs. Click here for complete routing of trip.

Cliffhouse
photo camera and
a walk down to the bath houses
Worth
the USD3 paid for sure! The video doesn't do this simple contraption justice.
Based of Leonardo Da Vinci's Designs' it projects the outside world down onto a
concave surface, giving that surreal 3D effect. It's like a min omnimax in a
huge dish. Absolutely beautiful imagery.

Golden
Gate Bridge Lookout Point
A
quick stop over at the golden gate bridge's look out point, with a short
historical tour and souvineers shopping.
Muir
Woods
USD7
entry for adults
In
all honestly, it really boils down to who's your tour guide for the day. We
were really lucky when Thomas, a volunteer master ranger, photo bombed the
girls. Whom later was convinced by the flock to offer a private tour of a small
section of the forest.
His
wealth of knowledge, and, "knowing loads of cool stuff" was uncanny
and incredibly interesting.
From the stories of the life of the tree being
stuck by lightning whilst it's brother tree did not, to George Washington look-a-like stump and ancient ferns filled with silica minerals. It's not just statistics,
but incredibly fun and interesting facts, with full on touch and feel interactivity. Who knew trees could be
this interesting. A short intro/photo-bomb, turned into an amazing 2hrs.
Our
saviors buying some In and Out burgers to tide over the hunger.

ToyRUS/Baby
R US shopping
A
round trip drive to Toy R Us to do some shopping.
ABBATip:
There's is no charge when driving out of San Fran city, but a charge is
incurred when you drive into the city. Approx 5-9USD.
Attempted
a meal at House of Prime Rib
(yet
to be reviewed)
The
place was packed on a Saturday night at 2115hrs. Even then without reservation,
a minimum1hr wait. So long patrons are in before closing hours of 2200hrs, they
will get to enjoy their meal at leisure. Will Definitely come back for a proper
review.
Returned
car to upper story parking above Dollar Rental and ending with dinner at
Bangkok.
