Just to get an idea of the public transport system, and limit my visit just to a few places. I will be mostly walking, go to Chinatown to have a look, may be possible to have lunch or dinner there, to the Fisherman's, as I must try the soft-shell crab (if I ever find out how to eat it!

) to the Rock, as it is a must, then may be take one of my meals in the Crab House at Pier 39. That should take care of my day. Almost forgot, will ride the cable car whenever I can, and as many times I can in a day!
FYI, soft shell crab is NOT a San Francisco dish. The dungeness crab is the local crab (and even when it isn't season here, it is available from further up the coast). These crabs are a lot of work for the amount of meat in them, but the meat is delicious.
