There’s a lot of cool stuff to do in San Francisco, but sometimes you just have to do the “touristy” stuff. Especially when there is good reason it’s so popular with visitors. Fisherman’s Wharf may have lots of your typical shops and restaurants, but it also has some real treats, too. You can check out the resident sea lions, which are easy to find...just follow your ears to their playful noises, or maybe your nose- they don’t always smell the best but they are damn cute! If you get bored of the souvenir shops, duck into Musee Mecanique. It’s an entire “museum” of old arcade machines that you can actually play. Some of them go back nearly 100 years. There are often street buskers (performers) all around the area and lots of yummy treats abound. On our way we’ll stop by Lombard St., known as the “crookedest street in the world.” Due to its intense incline, the road has multiple switchbacks just to drive down it. Or get some exercise and walk up it for a beautiful view! Join Nashwa at 10:30am at the hostel to head out to explore.
