3rd and last day in San Francisco (8th of June 2012)

Well, our very last day was as wonderful as all the others. First thing first we checked out of our room at the Adelaide Hostel.Was not too sad to leave the Hostel but sad we only had half a day left in San Francisco.So after we checked out they were nice enough and locked our luggage in an extra room for a few hours. Then we had time to go for a little shopping spree and see downtown from different sides.

After spending a few hours in the centre, we picked up the car and headed to Sausalito, which is known as a very artistic, beautiful and touristic place.
On our way to Sausalito we crossed the famous GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.
This experience was absolutely breathtaking.

Then arriving in Sausalito we walked a long the lovely streets, with amazing art galleries and delightful little bakeries.
Having stepped into all the lovely Galleries and touristic shops, we stumbled across a beautiful Arts Gallerie called Galerie Judith Engelstad. Defiantly something you should check out. It is very expensive but beautiful art from various countries. I found myself gazing at paintings for quite some time. 
A while after, we went into a very small Bakery, called Sausalito Bakery & Cafe, and bought two coffees and the two most scrumptious chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten.The cookies were massive and absolutely succulent.

Afterwards we drove back over the Golden Gate Bridge and headed towards the famous Haight Street.
This street is supposed to be artistic and have a huge hippie vibe but I was a little disappointed to see too much mainstream going on.
On the other hand there were a lot of massive vintage stores and small oriental shops.
BUT I have to say that there was one store that absolutely blew my mind, it is called Loved To Death. This small store has lovely/unusual art, jewelry and various other objects. Funny enough the owners and the very shop have been featured in magazines and on television.Later on we went to the Golden Gate Park, which was very relaxing.
