It doesn’t feel like but it has been over one month since I was in this fantastic city and if I could, I’d go back now!
A week in San Francisco
Day 5 Golden Gate Park
Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I did!!! haha
And it was soooooo worth it!
We hopped on the bus heading to the Golden Gate Park; we had no “mandatory” visits, which made the walk more enjoyable, however, I guess it became much longer than expected.
We did visit the Japanese Tea Garden, which was beautiful, but smaller than I thought.
After many kilometers, we knew we had finally arrived at the end of the Park once we saw Murphy Windmill!!! Ah, the joy…
But in my mind, the journey hadn’t reached it’s best. I wanted to go and put my feet in the Pacific Ocean for the first time!!
It felt much colder than I thought, but it was amazing!!! I was so happy to realize how far from home I was… Might sound silly to you, though.
The sound of Ocean and the wind are so relaxing that I could have stayed at Ocean Beach for as many hours as possible, even if I’d have frozen my a** off! hahaha
For more sights, please watch the Vlog on YouTube.

Day 6 Chinatown & Coit Tower
The word that came to my mind while walking these streets was “Chinesices!” which is a Portuguese word for stuff made in China.
So much of it, so so much…
After Chinatown, we went back to the “west” and visited the Italian neighborhood of San Francisco. There I found a restaurant with my name! How considerate, San Francisco! Thank you! hahaha
A “few” steps later we had finally arrived at Coit Tower!
Once we got there, we were told the elevator was being fixed and if we wanted to visit it we either had to wait or walk over 450 steps! Yay… as if we hadn’t walked enough.
So we decided to wait and when we were about to take the stairs, they said the magic words “the elevator is fixed! you can go now if you like”
Say no more!
The view from the top of the Tower is simply amazing!! We were very lucky and got a clar blue sky with an amazing 360degree view. For more please watch the vlog.
And yes, we had to go back to Fisherman’s Wharf for one last time. We decided to visit Bubba Gump and it was nice!!!
If you’ve seen Forest Gump movie, than this is a “mandatory” visit.

Day 7 Alamo Park & Painted Ladies
Bittersweet, dear people… Bittersweet!
On one hand, we wanted to go home and meet our Choco boy again, but on the other hand, we were having such a fantastic time in San Francisco than it just didn’t feel like “it was time to go”.
But it was…
However, there was still enough time to go visit the Alamo Park and the famous Painted Ladies!
Gorgeous Victorian houses!!!
And many, many, many tourists…
I lost count on the amount of “Instagram photoshoots” I saw. *roll eyes*
The time had come…

Our return flight back home was very pleasant and even though we had a stop over in Zurich, Switzerland, it was okay. I slept enough, had nice meals, watch a movie and relaxed as much as possible.
I hope you have enjoyed these posts and vlogs about San Francisco!
From my side, I had an amazing time making them.
