My DD has always wanted to see San Fransico, and I must confess I do not care for the city. Luckily what she really wanted to do was see the 2 bridges, and ride the cable cars.
We drove over the bay bridge into the city, so that got checked off. We then checked into our hotel, and took the free shuttle to the SFO airport. We caught the BART from the airport terminal , and rode it to the Powell st station. As so as you exit the station you will see the booth that sells CC tickets. We then joined a long looking queue....that in reality only took 20 minutes. But we were well enterained by watching the roundabout work until it was our turn to board.
My DH managed to jockey into position for an outside ride going down...note that this really is outside, very close to traffic, and all you can do is hang on.
we arrived at the other end of the line, and walked the 3 blocks to Pier 39 area.
There are some great views from the pier
On the return trip my DD was brave (and quick) enough to grab an outside slot
so now is my time to again confess that I do not like SF.
My rating 2 starts, worth doing once to remove from your "bucket List"
