Rather than driving to San Francisco, we decided instead to catch a flight instead. There were two things about Las Vegas’ airport that caught me eye, the fact that there are slot machines so people can continue to gamble up until their flight (this really shouldn’t surprise me) and vending machines for Best Buy and Benefit Cosmetics! How convenient!
First impressions of San Francisco is basically it’s another Melbourne, only bigger, extremely hilly and a ton more people.
We didn’t get up to much for the rest of that day, it was mostly filled with exploration and a bit of a shopping, but the next day worked out to be a big one for us! We joined a tour group to explore Alcatraz~
It was really something to be standing in such a decrepit jail, not to mention physically standing in one of those jail cells pretty much creep me out :/
After Alcatraz we were taken to the Muir Woods, our original plan was to visit the Yosemite Forest, but the tours we had our eyes on were unfortunately no longer available, so the Muir Woods was good enough!
Our tour guide then took us through to Sausalito and finally up to a look out point to look at the Golden Gate bridge at sunset. Unfortunately the view was a little bit cut off, and of course for Toby that wasn’t good enough so we came back again on our own another day (you’ll read all about it in a future blog post)

Fun fact. We don’t really celebrate Halloween in Denmark eather – at least not the Trick Or Treat part.. However we do somthing similar at Fastelavn (Carnival) in February/March where kids dress up in costumes (almost like halloween, no tradition for scary costumes however) and go from house to house singing Fastalavn’s songs asking for buns, money or candy. So it’s defenately seen here, however not in October 🙂
Really?? That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing with me, I instantly went to google the term after reading your comment and I love it! Looks awesome 😀
