Today we decided to buy tickets for the Big Bus tour that stops around the corner from the Hilton allowing us to hop on and off at different parts of the city. I bought the ticket on line for a discount and printed the ticket in the hotel lobby, we grabbed a light breakfast from the deli' and joined the queue. A great audio guide with the supplied earphones, we headed out through Haight-Ashbury and got off at Golden Gate park where we spent the morning visiting the California Academy of Sciences, and the surrounding Shakespeare Park and Japanese Tea Garden.

In the Afternoon we hopped back on the bus to complete the tour around San Francisco passing over Golden Gate Bridge and then past the Pacific Heights area the scene of many great films including the Mrs Doubtfire house.
Later we got off and walked Market St - the main shopping area. Found a huge Levi store and Shopping Mall.
