Finally, we all reunited after a six week break due to clashes with various social/cultural activities. Our hiking leader is back with an iron hand now :). For a change this time we wanted to check out the new Bay Bridge pedestrian walkway. We started at 7.30 am and on our way missed the exit, violated the toll on the bridge, took a tour of new Bay bridge in the car. After we finallyreached the meeting point near Ikea we started walking. It was a warm day and absolutely no fog so we could clearly see Golden Gate bridge and SFO skyline very clearly.It was more than 2 miles to the bridgehead from where we parked and we encountered many pedestrians, joggers & bikers all along. We also glimpsed a couple oh harbor seals in the bay below. Our leader from time to time captured our joyful moments. At one point we were all excited and tried to jump off the bridge :) hmm.. I meant jump on the bridge & we all went for it.
Finally we justified our 8.8 mike walk by stopping for lunch at Viks in Berkeley and had a blast.
