San Francisco proper is much smaller than most would imagine, only 49 square miles, about seven miles by seven miles. Although the locals have chronic complaints about local transit, it's actually pretty good. And quite a bit of fun what with the cable cars, old street cars/trams and the Metro. You can gt almost anywhere within San Francisco on foot or transit. Snip You're right--my screw up--I got the two places mixed up. In either case, when we hit a big city our approach is to take one of the big city tours---preferably a "Hop-On-Hop Off" if available. This gives us the lay of the land and then having seen the highlights, we can go back to where we'd like to see more or just move on to bigger and better. The organized tour is a good introduction of a city and well worth it. In London, for example, the Red and Blue Bus Tour was a Hop-ON-Hop Off-- and with it came a complete city tour on both tour lines, a ticket for boat ride down the Thames and a guided walking tour the next day. After that we were on our own using public transportation. Deciding where to go was much easier after seeing much of the city via the Bus Tours. MLD |
