We took the public ferry to Sausalito. We went to see the tower of Coit near the port on foot, passing through beautiful gardens and views. Next day we took a tour to see the Golden Gate Bridge. From the port you see the two bridges.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

We were not allowed to dock in Victoria due to windy weather.

Seattle, Washington

We took a ferry to Bainbridge island. It was fantastic, artistic and lots of nature. On the way back we saw the city of Seattle, and walk along the main avenue.
