All images were taken with my iPhone, which was in a protective case the whole entire time (unlike last time).

For a moment, I didn't realize Susie was trailing that far behind me. Gene Fail.

Travel note: Right before you hit the bridge, there's a pretty steep incline you have to bike or walk up. It's somewhat intimidating, but well worth it!

Before we headed back to Fisherman's Wharf, we locked our bikes up at the bike parking lot that sits next to the ferry in Sausalito. We took a few hours to walk around and check out the town. Lots of mom-and-pop shops and yes, there was a Starbucks. We also picked up pizza to enjoy on our ferry ride back.
