Alcatraz & Hyde St Pier

We again head out to the Golden Gate area of San Francisco only this time we decided to check out some of the pier areas. Alcatraz can be seen in the centre of the water away where nobody can escape (unless they are on a tour).

Hyde St Pier further down had a bunch of old fashioned boats docked. There was a sail boat from Glasgow. It looked like something you would see in Pirates of the Caribean. There was also an old tug boat from Newcastle(back home). Even way out in the USA a slice of home is there to meet us.

On our next journey a not so old, rude Chinese woman decided to pull rank on Bobbi's seat as the bus was full. She decided that the 'give up seats for elderly' sign applied to her and vigorously pointed at the sign while grunting. The hillarious thing about it was Bobbi was paying attention to our next stop and not looking in her direction, it still never occured to the not so old lady to quit pointing & maybe just tap Bobbi on her shoulder to get her attention.
(Bloody freak - if you ask me, Bobbi)
It reminded us of how the locals in China would step over their grandmothers in a fight to get a seat on the metro.
