Day 30 - San Francisco

Wednesday the 5th of February.

Today was a pretty chilled out day. Not much I can write about this day because I spent most of it gallivanting around the city.

After a brownie at Peets Coffee and Tea (if you remember from yesterday's post) I ventured towards Lombard Street. Lombard Street is the world's most crooked and curviest street. It is also mid route to the top of a hill so walking up to reach it wasn't very pleasant. Everything is so hilly in San Francisco, it's like walking the treadmill on such a heavy incline that your calves and ankles begin to buckle. In my opinion, what was rated so highly on TripAdvisor was just a street. I got the Cable Car for 30 minutes to get to it which was an "attraction" in itself though. San Francisco is one of the few cities in the world that still uses this old form of transport, and it's understandable why. It's not very practical especially in such a hilly city.

This leads me to my next point - Asian tourists. It's not a race thing trust me but.. I guess it is. Some girl got mad at me for walking through her shot. She was taking a photo of a stop sign. Literally. Honey that isn't going to get 500 likes on Instagram. Oh and they take so long to bloody take a photo with something in the background. Ugh.

I left the street and started walking towards the ocean. I walked alongside the wharves including Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. It was no Circular Quay but it was something to fill the day. The street adjacent was laden with fast food restaurants such as Jack In The Box and In N Out and also candy stores which would charge $16 AUD per pound.

I went to Pier 39 and saw the seals which stink like shit but it was great to see so many congregated in the water.

I went back home and met up with my cousin for dinner at a local sushi joint in the Mission District. I was craving something spicy so we got three rolls to share - Ultimate Spicy Tuna Roll, Blazing Salmon Roll and Rainbow Roll. My favourites are in that order and rightly so. I was still hungry but I made sure I saved room for later.

I met up with Joyce and her new found friend Linda at their hostel. We had Chipotle Mexican Grill and called it a quiet night because it was Wednesday and 10:30PM.

Linda and I, however went out to test my ID.

It worked.

At one of the biggest clubs in San Fran.

It was dead though.
But this means I'm going to try again. I just wish they'd spend a bit more money on club entry. Like there's major DJs playing near their hostel for $25 but they think that's expensive.

Oh well.

I went home and went straight to bed unsure of the day tomorrow.

Yeah so not that adventurous.
