Location: San Francisco
San Francisco was just a small town, until 1840 when Sam Brennan discovered gold and within a year, 50,000 had moved in, not only from the USA but also from mainland China. Now it is a huge and bustling city, very popular for tourists.
The city is built on 40 hills, each providing a very different atmosphere. This was the setting for the 'Summer of Love' in Haight-Ashbury. There is the opulence of Knob Hill, where the wealthy built extravagant mansions in the 1870's, and the wealthy of California still live today. You can also enjoy the sights of Fisherman's Wharf popular with tourists and sea lions, full of shops, silly museums and family fun. Still a working wharf, its vendors sell thousands of tons of fish and shellfish. San Francisco streets can be explored on foot, taking in the various neighbourhoods - Chinatown, Japan town, Italian North Beach and Russian Hill. Sample delicious local seafood and take the ferry to Alcatraz Island, home of the world's most notorious prison. The Golden Gate Bridge must be walked over and an afternoon in Golden Gate Park is a delight. Sonoma and Napa wine valleys are slightly north with Carmel and Monterey 2 hours south down beautiful Highway One.
