Capurro's Restaurant and Bar, Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco

We only had approximately five hours to explore San Francisco and in this short space we did our best to take in the scenery, the most important part for Alan being the Golden Gate Bridge.

The very, very kind man..
Shame I can't remember his name (I must be getting old).
Please excuse the blurry photo.

After eventually managing to take the BART (with a little help from a very, very kind man) from Oakland to centre of the San Francisco, we walked the rest of the way.  I'm glad we did.  I loved seeing the arty buildings, and the hilly streets are just like they are in films.  I must admit though, some parts we walked through were a little grubby and could have been done with a bit of a scrub.

We reached the water and had a stroll up the Aquatic Park Pier to see the Golden Gate Bridge.  Unfortunately, we didn't have time to get any closer but we made the best of our visit and , luckily, the weather stayed on our side.

We saw Alcatraz too but didn't really get any great photos of it as it's so far away.  We would both love to go back and explore San Francisco more thoroughly.  

I was hungry and my feet hurt, so we stopped in the Fisherman's Wharf area to grab some lunch before heading back to our hotel to collect our bags before continuing our journey home.  The first place we came to, yes we were really that hungry, was Capurro's Restaurant and Bar.  We had pizzas and beer.  Two of our favourite things.



Mother Hubbard always said if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all, so I'll list the things that I did like about this restaurant -

• Nice outside seating area - we appreciated being able to sit in the sun and soak up as much of the San Franciscan atmosphere as possible.
  
  
• The beer was good - it was a local beer, the name of which I can't remember.  Can anybody help out?
  
  
• I loved the artwork on the outside of the building.

I think this may be my last honeymoon related blog post.  It's been a hoot!  Back to regular old married life now....
