SF Travelogue

Hey guys! I am back. Sorry for neglecting this space for a long time.
I am currently busy with work, yoga and korean class. 

Ok, lets get started. 
Ash and I went to the States in May (I know, so long ago!) for our annual trip.
His brother went with us for about a week before he goes back to sg while we continue our journey.

First, wifi router was rented from Changi Airport (google, changi recommendation).
It can connect up to 5 devices.
Because in the States, it is not easy and cheap to buy a sim card, 
and we are going on a roadtrip which we need google map.
For 16 days, we paid $129sgd. 

For hotel, we stayed at Hotel Fusion located at Union Square. 
I highly recommend you guys to stay at that area. 
Because the cable car starting point is right in front of GAP store. 
Cable car ticketing booth is located in front of Forever21.

From the airport, we take the airport train to the town area.


When we are there everyday, we travel by cable car which is the cheapest transport there.
Still quite ex as compare to sg.

We took the cable car to Fisherman Wharf the second day we are there.
On the first day, we didn't go anywhere due to jet lag. We slept in the hotel the whole day.






The first thing we do is to walk to Pier 39 to see the seals. Please dont be fool!
They are very smelly! Thats why i stand so far to take photo. 

We also bought a boat tour ticket and go out to view the golden gate bridge, we are lazy to walk all the way there!
And Alcatraz from far, but the weather is super COLD!



At Fishermen's Wharf, there is two ships that were used in WW2.
One of it is a submarine which save singapore!
There is a ex navy officer who explained things to us, when ask where we come from, he is so delight to hear we are from singapore. 




The other is a steam engine ship which also fought for singapore against the japanese in WW2.



At night we went for our Alcatraz Night Tour. Luckily, we booked early!
When we tried to book for Joehunt, the ticket was sold out. 
He got no choice but to went for the Day tour on the next day. 



When you first enter, you will be entering the shower area. 
This is where you collect your audio headset. 
They do provide the headset in other langugages as well.  








On the 3rd day, Joehunt went for his Alcatraz Day tour (have to book in advance) while we climb up to the coit tower, at sg 2am.




The city skyline of SF. 


While waiting for his brother, we went for Hillstone for lunch. 
Since the next day, we are leaving SF for LA.


That night, we went A&F for some shopping! And had pizza for dinner.

Next post, my LA trip.
