After leaving San Francisco in sunshine, we wandered through The Presidio to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge with its pylons shrouded in low cloud. We made our way across the bridge in damp, cool and windy conditions and decided not to head up to the Marin headland (which was hidden in the clouds) as we wouldn’t have been rewarded with the picture postcard view of the bridge. Nevertheless, crossing the world famous Golden Gate Bridge was an unforgettable experience that we both really enjoyed!

Things to do in San Francisco | California | United States
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California. It was initially designed by engineer Joseph Strauss in 1917. It has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. (Wikipedia)
