BLIMP RIDE OVER SAN FRANCISCO

Last Sunday, May 2nd we soared with Airship Ventures in their huge blimp, over San Francisco. The cabin has all window seats and the views are absolutely spectacular. We had originally booked this trip for Valentine's Day 2009 but with one thing and another - weather/work schedules we had to wait - and the wait was well worth it. We couldn't have had a better day. The photos speak for themselves - Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Downtown. Click on the photos to enlarge them ... some of them are incredibly detailed. I particularly like the one with both bridges in it and the City in between ...
