Alcatraz Island - Fisherman's Wharf






We visited Alcatraz Island -- very interesting! Our tickets included a self-guided audio tour (which we highly recommend). The tour takes about an hour, but you can stay on the island as long as you wish, as the return boats depart about every 30 minutes. We lucked out weather-wise, and the views from the top of the island of downtown San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge are spectacular! Once back in San Francisco we wandered along the wharf area, and had lunch at a great restaurant with another beautiful view. The wharf was very busy and is very touristy, but we didn't mind much! We ended the day by taking a cable car to Union Square ...RJ got to "hang on" the outside like a local and thought that was great. We look forward to spending more time in this great city!
