Ok, I know,I'm a day late, I'm sorry. Build a bridge.Anywho... yesterday was a very very busy day. We saw barely anything.Would that make sense on any normal day? no but yesterday wasn't quite normal. It was sold out.
Let me explain...So yesterday morning we walked in the freezing cold to Pier 35 (like... 5 piers away from the Fisherman's area) in the hopes of getting on a tour to Alcatraz. We should have booked. It was sold out until Friday. Yesterday was Tuesday. It's insane isn't it?
So instead we walked around Fisherman's, saw the seals and I had a ride on the carousel. Yes, I am 14.
We also looked around at some of the wharf shops.
Look what dad found! I'm having Little Britain flashbacks aren't you? I think it could be Mr. "I am the only gay in the village" in old age. You know, the old-Scottish-man-style hat with a gay twist.Then we decided to see if we could go to the science museum we had heard about. And guess what? We used public transport! (You can see our tickets) On the way the bus stopped at the Golden Gate bridge so we got off and decided to re-catch the bus when it next came. Some thing really weird that we've noticed is that 70% of all the tourists are Americans. I swear we don't get that many Australian tourists back home. Correct me if I'm wrong- dad thinks I am. Anyway so we got back on the bus and went to Golden Gate park which is where the museum is. But guess what we found out? Apparently they'd sold out! How does a museum sell out of tickets????? But that is not the craziest part. Ok, for you to understand this you have to understand how it works. You buy your ticket from the ticket machine and get in line to enter right?
This all happens outside the museum, not at desks inside the lobby like at home. So anyway the craziest part is the queue to get in! It was so long! Of course we were so awestruck that we forgot to take a picture of it (oops). So anyway we walked away (I'm pretty sure my jaw was still hanging open). From there we caught a different type of public transport (because we're that versatile!), it was like a tram. We went and did battle at the Westfield food court again. Then we looked at some more shops because they're never sold out. Oh wait, that is the kind of thing that SHOULD be sold out, not museum tickets! 
We also went on Nordstroms CURVY escalators!!! And I took pictures! Then we went to Tiffany's for a look. It was sooo pretty!!!! Then we caught the cable car back again. We decided to see if the aquarium at Fisherman's was sold out too and...OMG... it wasn't! So Alcatraz and science were sold out but the nice little fishies could fit little old us in. It was really good, the tunnel thingy had a conveyor belt that you could go on so that no one had to make any physical effort at all. So that's where the obesity crisis comes from!The schools ofanchovies were the most impressive. 
They were just a swarm of movement, completely in sync.Finally,we had dinner at a restaurant on Fisherman's and went to sleep.
