Fisherman's Wharf and Jack London Square

With no game today, I visited Fisherman's Wharf early in the day including for lunch.

I went on one of the historic streetcars to get there, which takes around 20-30 minutes depending on the traffic.  It can be quite packed, particularly during the daytime, but it's probably the second nicest way to get from Market Street to Fisherman's Wharf (the best way is on the cable car, but the queues for the cable car are also very long during the day, and you might have to wait half an hour or more; the least preferred way is on the 30 or 45 bus, although it's probably the quickest)

There are lots of windsurfers out on the bay and sailing boats too.  There's not been much fog whilst I've been here, so it's been possible to see across the bag to Sausilto and Tiburon to the North and to Oakland in the East.

The weather has been remarkably kind for me, not just now but over my entire holiday.  Even since I left Washington DC a week ago, it's barely stopped raining there and in Philalpdehia with lots of disruption to the games there.

After wandering about for the afternoon, I took BART over to Oakland to where I would normally travel if I was staying at the Marriott in Oakland.  I was able to get the free Broadway Shuttle down to Jack London Square, where I had dinner at Kincaid's.

I was able to wander around the harbour area for half an hour as I'd left plenty of time to get there.

There are lots of boats in the marina here.


Kincaid's is actually partially over the water which helps it have great views over the bay and the rivers leading inland from Oakland, and you often get spectacular sunsets over the marina here.  You see the boats coming back from a day out.

After the sun had gone down, the crescent moon came up, together with Venus and Jupiter.

By the time I'd finished, it was dark and I got back to my hotel around 10pm.
