99 problems...

...but to ride the cable car ain't one!

This morning I got up super early as Andrea, Meikel, Evi, Sarah and I went to San Francisco. We had a tough schedule so we took the BART at around 9am. The first thing we did was a visit to the Coit Tower. Even though it is not with open windows but with glass you have a great view over the city! I liked it!





















































Then Evi, Sarah, Meikel and I walked to the Pier to ride the cable car. We thought we would wait ages but lucky us there was nearly no one on the cable car and we were also allowed to stand outside! Yeaaah jackpot! We took like a million pictures and tons of selfies.
























We got off at Union Square, met Andrea again and went to the Cheescake Factory for lunch. This was our birthday present for Meikel a few weeks ago and we finally made it!! Wohooo!

















We booked a night tour to Alcatraz a few weeks in advance so Meikel, Sarah and I went from Union Square with an Uber to the pier again. The Alcatraz ferry takes you to the island in around 20 minutes. Alcatraz was a really cool place! Kind of scary as it went to be darf very quickly and kind of disgusting because it's superold, dirty and a weird place. But it was definitely worth seeing it! We had an audio tour which was around 45 minutes. Lucky us again there was an Ei Weiwei exhibition at Alcatraz with audio and video installations. Kind of weird to hear one of his installations in the old hospital wing with old x-ray machines... Spooooky!

We r on a boat!!!!
































The most amazing thing about Alcatraz is that you have an amaaaazing view to SF at night! Hell yeah!!
















After the ferry landed back in San Francisco, we did some souvenir shopping, grabbed a coffee and went back to Hayward by BART - great day!!
