Our first stop on the way: Santa Barbara

It´s like being back in Spain

Sand and sun - so nice

We did not really want to leave - this was very cosy

People working on the acres

Hard working people harvesting salad for us all

A short stop in Santa Cruz - had dinner at a great Mexican restaurant thanks to the app Yelp

We got coffee and looked at the sunset just outside of Santa Cruz - looked like a very hippy and happy place

We had to stop to enjoy the sunset

Beautiful!

We ended a long day with some nice Mojitos

Time to explore San Francisco

These harts are painted by very famous artists

Just as in the movies

Benni was the only one of us that had been to SF before so these streets were new to the girls

Down by one of the piers

The absolute best way to explore a city

Dora on her Segway

On a three hour Segway tour you have time to relax and enjoy

With the centre of San Francisco in the back

And here is Alcatraz in the back - but we really should hold on :-)

And in front of the Golden Gate bridge - but helmets really should stay on :-) We promised our guide we would not tell :-)

Don´t try this at home!

Gudrun and Alcatraz

It was just wonderful to travel through town on these things

We heard the story of the first and real "Sugar Daddy" - the house on the top he build for his girl

Nice view of the Golden Gate shot on a Segway

We travelled with a small group and a great guide

We stopped for a little while in this park with enormous buildings that were only build for one big party originally

This dome has been rebuilt as it did not have any support structure - was only meant to last a long party

Relaxing

Some of the trees still showed off lush green colours

Dora and the Golden Gate bridge

Those sale boats were passing under the bridge

The boats made the scenery even more cool

They went passed us

and headed in the direction of Alcatraz
