All of these pictures were taken on the day we got to San Francisco and before we headed to Alcatraz.
The next set were taken yesterday at the Exploratorium and beyond. The Exploratorium was supposed to be a couple of hours worth of visiting, but turned into five and half or six hours of time, and could have been more. It is much like the science centre in Vancouver or the OMSI in Portland only bigger than both combined. We had no idea what to expect and when we got there and realised it was going to be seventy bucks to enter we almost baulked and rethought our day. However, Finn was so looking forward to it and we were there, so headed in. It was worth every penny; the place is huge and has half a days worth of exhibits to enjoy. By the end of it we were all knackered and headed off for some high end dining at IHOP :-).
The Exploratorium is next to the Palace of Fine Arts:
There was so much to see and do; the plan had been to spend a couple of hours there and then go up to the Golden Gate Bridge but, we ended up in the building for ages longer than we had expected, enjoying every minute of it I have to say. So, as we leave San Francisco this morning we are going to drive down to the bridge and hangout for a little while before heading to Santa Clara and an overnight with some friends.
