We had a day of perfect weather in San Francisco for our quick look at the city. The Hop-on Hop-off bus was just what we wanted: first Hop-off at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Then switch to the green bus for a trip to Sausalito, gorgeous beachside town where we wandered around for a couple of hours, then back to Golden Gate where the first of the day's thrills began - an aerial display over the bay by an F/A-18 Hornet, Tom Cruise's plane in Top Gun. It's what looks like a fly speck in the photo below:
It's Fleet Week this week - not so good in that hotel rooms cost three times usual, but good in that we get to see naval ships and aerial displays.
As the bus headed back towards Fishetman's Wharf six F/A-18D planes zoomed over us and continued to loop and roll for the next couple of hours.
David was ecstatic to see them and I was too, such an unexpected pleasure.
