We spent another day in San Diego. It was very busy as it is Labor weekend (everyone has Monday off) and the beaches and parks were full of families having picnic lunches.

We crossed the Coronado Bay Bridge on to the North Island which is home to the Naval Base.

 

 

The view from North Island is stunning. Yet another wonderful day! 

 

The view of the Bay from the top of the Coronado Bay Bridge (whilst moving) - I didn't like crossing this - it made me feel very uneasy. The barrier is very low and on a bike you feel that if it was windy, you would blow over it. John wasn't bothered at all, then he wasn't hanging off the bike trying to take photos!

 

We spent a few hours walking round Balboa Park. It is the nation's largest urban cultural park and is ranked as one of the Best Parks in the World. It would have been good to have had more time in San Diego, but you could spend 2 weeks here and still not see everything.  The Park consists of 15 major museums, 3 theatres, one of which is shown below, (The Old Globe), lovely gardens and a famous Zoo.  We even saw 2 weddings taking place - most bizarre to see Bride and Groom walking amongst the crowds of visitors, looking for the perfect spot to have their photograph taken!
