Sightseeing in San Francisco

“Full House”, Golden Gate Bridge, and Much More…

After waking up early to check out of the motel, it was time to figure out where to sleep on Sunday night. I did not want to spend another 175 dollars to sleep in some crappy hotel, so the next best thing came to mind…the hostel.

We ended up choosing the Adelaide Hostel because it had rooms available for a decent price. It was $31 a person, which ended up being much cheaper than the night before. I really liked this hostel because it was huge and located right by Union Square in downtown San Francisco. The Adelaide Hostel also provides free wi-fi and breakfast in the morning which is always nice. When first arriving, it does look a little sketch since it is found down a dark alley off the main street. This is the view of the hostel from the main road:

The one thing that was a little awkward, was our bunk mates. I swear they had more stuff in their hostel room than I own. I have no idea how someone can pack so much crap. They had 10 different kinds of shampoo, clothes everywhere, and more luggage than I have in my apartment at home.

Some More Sightseeing

After checking in to the hostel, it was time to do some more sightseeing in San Francisco. We walked a good 10 miles around the city, and I am convinced I saw just about everything I could think. We even made it up to the top of Coit Tower located on Telegraph hill. Just be prepared to pay 5 dollars to get to the top. It does give you some great views of the city. Here is a picture I took from the top:

The only thing I did not like about going up the Coit Tower was the fact they do not allow tripods. I really wanted to take some cool shots of San Francisco but I had to settle for these hand taken shots.

After walking around all day long, nothing sounded better than going back to the hostel and crashing for the night. It really is tiring to drive that far and then walk more than usual. Once we returned to the hostel, the next step was planning out Monday’s events. We had already booked a campsite in Eureka, California so it was just a matter of how to get there and when to leave.

Time To Leave San Francisco!

After getting up and grabbing some breakfast at the hostel, it was time to hop back in the car and head out of San Francisco. However, we managed to stop by the house featured in the opening introduction of “Full House.” I remember watching the show when I was younger, but never realized the Tanners lived in a somewhat shady neighborhood, lol. Here is a picture of what the house looks like now:

There was a liquor store right around the corner from the house. However, I know it was not actually filmed there, but it still makes you laugh. I have a feeling a lot of people come by this place, which probably drives the people that live there nuts. No wonder they painted the door black instead of leaving it the red color you can see on Full House.

After checking out the house, I got to drive over the Golden Gate Bridge and get one more glimpse of the San Francisco skyline. It really is an amazing city and I can see myself going back there again to check out some more stuff, especially Alcatraz. This is the last picture I took of San Francisco:
