For the last days here in the city I am walking around the streets of San Francisco. Here is some photos of what you will see while exploring the city by foot. Have good shoes on, be ready to climb the hills. Many of the buildings and houses have the characteristic bay windows. Car parked at steep angles on the streets of San Francisco . Chinatown in San Francisco. Just like being in the other part of the world. Not everyone have the resources they need and the line outside the soup kitchen is long every day. Too cool. …and then came internet. You know the food is fresh when the chef comes direct from the fish market with dinner for today. Union square decorated for Christmas with SF finest having a break in front of the tree. Cool Lamborghini. Around the city you will find several walls covered in street art. There is also guided tours to see the different pieces. Relaxing at the Delta Lounge at San Francisco International airport, SFO. My SAS flight ready to depart from SFO. Last lounge stop at Copenhagen airport before returning to Norway. San Francisco have been fun with a wide variety […]

While walking from the Parc55 hotel to find breakfast I stumble upon the 2016 International Autoshow San Francisco at Moscone Center. I guess this is a guy (and girl) thing, new cool cars from automakers all around the world seasoned with some light clothed girls next to them. The $10 ticket was well worth it to get a chance to both see normal affordable cars and dream cars that just a few people would be able to buy. Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, top car makers, race cars and also classic cars from a past era. This post will not have a lot of text just enjoy the photos. The 2016 International Auto Show San Francisco . I guess this was the cheapest thing at the venue. Zonda and Bugatti opens the show. The Pagani Huayra     Approved from the back also. Pagani Huayra art. Lost for words here.

A visit to The Rock Alcatraz is a must while being in San Francisco. Alcatraz Cruises departs from Pier 33. Tickets can be booked online before going there or bought at Pier 33 near Fisherman`s Wharf, be aware that number of tickets are limited and this is a popular destination. I visited Alcatraz during the day and there is also a night cruise that is available and give you a different experience of the island. Departing from Pier 33, bring the right type of clothes as the prison is not well insulated or heated. Leaflet included in the ticket price with visitor information. And it also includes a map so you do not get lost there. Getting around is easy and does not require much effort. Approaching the Alcatraz island. The Dock with building 64 and the Cellhouse at the top of the island. Welcome to the Rock Alcatraz . In 1969 Alcatraz were occupied by American Indians, a occupation that lasted for nineteen months. Still there is several signs of the occupation to be seen around the island. Listen to stories told by the guides, this one made it of the island after planning the escape for a long time, only […]

Seeing more of the area and getting out of the city is perfect with a rental car. I booked this sweet ride trough turo.com to take a one day drive San Francisco. Before driving I tried to Google where I should go and what to see. Some of the recommended destinations was far away and would require a night at a hotel somewhere before returning to San Francisco. Luckily the Uber driver that took me to the car location came up with several destinations that he recommended going to. This is where we we ended up in this nice Jaguar F-type 2016 model, with 385 supercharged horsepower and fully loaded with equipment. This post might contain more photos of the car than the different stops we had along the way. Driving in San Francisco is fairly easy and there is many destinations to see. Do it in a nice car and the trip will be even better. Renting trough Turo.com was a easy and convenient thing to do. I met Tony that owns the Jaguar at his place close to Diamond Heights. What a beautiful car! 1. Twin Peaks First stop is Twin Peaks where you get a good view […]
