My Perfect Road Trip... |
|
| For a San Francisco road trip,I and some of my friends stayed at Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. It is a 4-star boutique hotel and is just a 5-kilometer drive from the Golden Gate Bridge so it's worth staying there. It didn't hurt spending for hotel accommodations as the services were great and the staff were friendly. We arrived Friday late evening so my friends and I could start our San Francisco road trip adventure early Saturday. We were all ready by 7 AM so we grabbed a cup of Starbucks Breakfast Blend Beans near the American Academy for Ophthalmology Office. Then we hit the road to our first destination, the Golden Gate Bridge. The morning breeze and sunlight were just right, making it a great day to try the Electric Bike Tour to Sausalito at 10 AM. We took some pictures of ourselves and explored the surroundings and other nearby attractions. At 10 AM we were already off for the bike tour. After the tour, we were all tired and hungry so we looked for the nearest restaurant and found Paradise Bay. I tried the BBQ Baby Back Ribs "Paradise Style" and it was really a taste of paradise. The bike tour included a return trip by Ferry. The Ferry trip was another fascinating experience. You will definitely love the sparkling waters of San Francisco Bay during the Ferry ride. Next we visited San Francisco Cable Car System at Presidio Ave. There is an undeniable magic behind these old cable cars, giving its passengers a taste of the past while enjoying a modern view. Our last stop for the day was the Grace Cathedral. The church is so huge and the entrance is as marvelous the interior. Dinner at Nob Hill Pizzeria was very satisfying. A dinner consisting of Pollo Alla Parmigiana and Ribollita is perfect to end the day. |
