What time is it there?!

On Saturday we went over to Sausalito with the idea in mind of having a leisurely brunch gazing back at San Francisco, unfortunately the fog had other ideas!

It did brighten up a bit later on and gradually the city came into a somewhat hazy view. Whilst we waited we watched someone stack rocks on top of each other and defy the laws of gravity. Sounds odd but the pictures seem to describe it better.

Back to the city and still the Golden Gate Bridge was covered in fog but the city itself was clear. We had a little trip through the Castro and saw some splendid houses. Then on to Lombard Street, where 'The Crookedest Street in the World' certainly lived up to its' name.

Our last stop of the day was Treasure Island, in the middle of the harbour towards Oakland. An interesting but very bizarre place. It used to be a military base and still has many of the buildings, but it's not really clear what most of it is used for now. From our limited research it seems that some of the most valuable land in the Bay Area (with a superb view back to the city skyline) is being used as housing for low income families and public service employees. This is great, but unfortunately there seem to be plans to 'develop' the island.
