San Francisco - The bridge
We got a spectacular view of the Golden Gate bridge and San Francisco as we flew in after I persuaded the pilot to give the plane a good tilt at that point... The iconic bridge is a big magnet when you're in the city and as you're travelling around it just keeps appearing - and is always a stunning site.
This shot was taken from the city side of the bridge, on our second day in the city. we hired bikes (very nice ones too) and did an 8 mile cycle along the waterfront of the city, over the bridge (quite hard work clmbing to it and understandably noisy and breezy during the crossing), and then on to the beautiful town of Sausalito. Note that Izzy is wearing a T shirt and it's February - you can't get kids to dress properly these days...!!
More bridge pics ( rather a lot in fact..) at the link below

Did you know..? The Golden Gate is the strait connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. Since 1937 it has been spanned by the Golden Gate Bridge.
