Caption:- A revisit of the most photographed bridge.
The pre-final day again consisted of travelling for ten hours.
However, at this time, the journey was by the scenic highway along the pacific coast.
There were picturesque sceneries across the route.
However, there was some travail at the end.
We missed the approach lane to the hotel. Next, a detour through the bustling traffic involved one more hour.
The next day consisted of a revisit to the iconic spots.
That included the most photographed bridge.
But we had to conclude the visit fast.
Locating a gas-station nearest to the airport remains an essential aspect before returning a self-drive rented car. A customer has to assure the gas tank is full.
And then, a surprise, we received a random TSA pre-check.
That eliminated the anxiety of what to do with the inconvenience I gained at the Grand Canyon!
Amazing post as the previous one @C_T I really love the photos very much. very clear and warm. You are lucky that you got a sunny day to take these amazing photos. Thanks once again for sharing this nice post. Regards.
Thanks for sharing your trip, beautiful photo & interesting story of the street of Lombard Street you found trill, I found bit risky it looks like zig zag way. Nice after this you can cool yourself with ice cream.
I visited the Golden Gate twice. Once in Dec’17 & recently in Dec’19.
Luckily, the atmosphere was sunny on both occasions.
However, I did not walk across the bridge in the recent visit as the movement was painful, though I could capture that on my phone.
TSA or the Transport Security Administration is equivalent to our CISF.
There are three levels of checks while passing through TSA screening.
The usual with X-ray scan.
The feared one SSSS when the agents would take you aside & do a thorough check. The boarding pass contains a statement “See the Agent”.
The relaxed one TSA pre-approval. Here one faces shorter queues.
Travellers have to apply and pay for that, go through a rigorous evaluation process & then avail that for five years.
Foreigners can also apply through their passport issuing authorities.
The exercise is worth when someone is a frequent traveller. The prequalified passengers clear the checks in five minutes max.
However, even those who have not applied can get that status through a random allotment. Usually, Families stand a chance to get that occasionally.
That act is an advertisement to attract travellers by making them aware of the benefits.
Amazing article @C_T . All the photos are very beautiful. I loved the bridge photo. And i got tempted by seeing ice cream photo. I am huge ice cream lover . Thanks for sharing.
