San Francisco

von

in

San Francisco ist eine Stadt, auf der ich viele Erwartungen setzte, welche sich dann auch bestätigten. Das ist wirklich eine Stadt, die ich gerne noch einmal besuchen werde. Wir haben dort zwei Tage verbracht, die wir auch voll ausgeschöpft haben.
Da es wirklich viel zu sehen gab, haben wir uns entschieden, den CityPass für 69 $ zu kaufen, welcher unter anderem folgende Leistungen beinhaltet:

-Alcatraz
-Aquarium
-Cable Car Ticket
-Boot Tour

Hier mal eine kleine Liste der Things to do;

Golden Gate Bridge
Die Golden Gate Bridge ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt San Francisco, welches neben der Freiheitsstatue von New York für viele ein Symbol der Vereinigten Staaten darstellt. Die Brücke ist aber auch wirklich gigantisch. Will man sie mit dem Auto überqueren, ist Stadteinwärts eine Gebühr von 6 Dollar fällig. Wir haben uns selbstverständlich entschieden, diese zu Fuß zu überqueren, was sich als sehr sehr windig herrausstellte.

Leider wird diese Brücke oft von Personen benutzt, die mittels Suizid durch einen Sprung von der Brücke ihr Leben beenden. Schon über 2000 Menschen stürzten sich hier in den Tod. In Regelmäßigen Abständen sind zwar Telefone angebracht, die den Suizid gefährdeten Personen es ermöglichen soll, Kontakt zu professioneller Hilfe aufzunehmen, was aber durch den starken Wind und des hohen Verkehrsaufkommens wohl eh nicht möglich ist. Ab und zu sind auch Netzte bzw. Gitter angebracht, die Brücke komplett einzuzäunen wäre wohl zu teuer, und würde auch das äußerliche Erscheinungsbild stören.

Alcatraz
Leider war der Andrang auf das wohl bekannteste Hochsicherheitsgefängnis so groß, dass für die nächsten 3 Tage alles ausgebucht war. Desshalb konnten wir Alcatraz nur vom Festland, und vom Boot aus sehen. Aber wie gesagt, ich bin ja noch einmal in SF.

Bus Tour
Wie ihr wohl alle wisst, hat die Stadt San Francisco viele viele Hügel. Sicherlich wäre es anstrengend alle schönen Plätze abzulaufen, aber nicht nur desshalb haben wir uns für eine Bus Tour entschieden, sondern auch weil uns der Bus wohl an Orte bringt, die wir so nie gefunden hätten. Obowhl es relativ kalt war, ja SF ist bekannt für seinen Nebel und Wind, haben wir uns für den Doppeldecker entschieden. Die Bus Tour ging ganze 2 Stunden, lediglich zum Schluss wurde es dann ein wenig kalt. Aber man konnte sich zwischendurch ja einen heissen Kaffee kaufen 🙂
Aufjedenfall eine Empfehlung von mir!

Chinatown
Aufgefallen ist mir, dass sich in Californien ohnehin viele Asiaten niedergelassen haben. Chinatown von San Francisco ist jedoch eine der größten Chinatowns in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und zählt wohl zu den bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt SF. Die Einwohnerzahl beträgt sage und schreibe ca. 80.000. Da ich sowieso sehr begeistert von der asiatischen Esskultur bin, durfte dieses Chinatown natürlich nicht fehlen.Selbstverständlich hatte ich mir dann auch was sehr exotisches zum Essen bestellt, und zwar Duck Feets. 🙂 Zugegeben war es echt lecker! Obst, Früchte, Essen und Souveniers bekommt man hier auch zu unschlagbaren Preisen.

Boot Tour
Zur Auswahl stand eine zwei Stündige Boots Tour mit einem normalen Dampfer, oder eine 30 min Tour mit einem Speed Boot. Da wir schon relativ viel gesehen hatten, haben wir uns für das Rocket Boot entschieden, was schon beim beobachten nach viel Spaß aussah. Das Rocket Boat fährt mit voll Speed in der Bay. Bay Brücke, Golden Gate, Alcatraz, alles in 30 Minuten, wofür die Dampfer 2 Stunden brauchen. Ehrlich gesagt hatte ich mir noch mehr Geschwindigkeit erhofft, da es aber ohnehin im Citypass inbegriffen war, kann man nicht meckern. Spaß machte es aufjedenfall, nur der Wind pfeift einem stark um die Ohren.

Cable Car
Jeder kennt sie, jeder will sie fahren. Ein Highlight San Franciscos. Will man jedoch die komplette Route fahren, und startet wie wir bei der Fishermans Wharf, dann kann man schon mit Wartezeiten von 45 Minuten rechnen. Ich würde jedoch empfehlen eine Station zu laufen, und dort dann aufzusteigen. Das einfache aufspringen unter der fahrt, so wie es aus manchen Filmen bekannt ist, ist nämlich _nicht_ erlaubt! 🙁 Als wir dann endlich an der Reihe waren, nahmen wir natürlich einen Stehplatz aussen – das macht schon richtig Spaß, auf diese Weise noch einmal die Straßen von SF abzufahren. Man sollte jedoch darauf achten, keine Taschen etc. raushängen zu lassen. Kommt nämlich ein anderes Cable Car entgegen, wird es richtig eng.

Essen in San Francisco
SF ist für mich die Stadt des Essens. Auf kleinster Fläche gibt es unglaubliche 4.500!!! Restaurants – unglaublich, hier kann man essen, essen und nochmal essen. Da ich in ca. 2 Wochen noch einmal in SF sein werde, hört ihr aufjedenfall nochmal von mir über diese Stadt.

 

Morgen werden wir uns dann dem Highway No. 1 widmen, und einige der wunderschönen Strände wie, Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay etc. abfahren.

    Hey Ihr zwei,

    wie schrieb schon Mark Twain .‘ Der kälteste Winter, den ich je erlebt habe, war der Sommer in San Francisco‘!
    Der Wind hat’s wirklich in sich! Schön, dass Ihr so viel gesehen habt, die Stadt ist wirklich unglaublich schön, wenngleich mich doch auch seinerzeit ein wenig die herumlungernden Typen nachdenklich gemacht haben. Da sieht man halt doch, dass die soziale Absicherung in den USA fast gänzlich fehlt.Habt weiterhin viel Spaß, take care of you!
