ENJOYING SAN FRAN

GOLDEN GATE, TECH AND FISH & CHIPS!

When we say The West Coast we immediately think of San Francisco and beyond, it’s where most of the West Coast road trips begin or end. I was due to meet Ryan who I knew from my time in Banff so I knew my time here would be decent but San Francisco has so much to offer its hard to have anything but. From here we will drive all the way down to San Diego but that’s a story for another time.

WHERE IS SAN FRAN?

ENJOYING SAN FRAN

San Fran isn’t the cheapest place to hangout so we intentionally checked into European Hostel, the one of the worst areas in the city. We didn’t have much trouble but as soon as we stepped foot into the area we got called a pair of gays for refusing to give a fella some money 😂 They will need to try harder than that! After a night here we moved to Green Tortoise which was the same as the one in Seattle.

The hair is getting long!

  • MVP – My Nana for recommending the cycle and the chippy
  • VISIT AGAIN – Yes!
  • RATING – 8/10

FINAL THOUGHTS

In terms of things to do, San Francisco certainly hit all the buttons. We actually found it difficult to decide what to do over just 3 full days and would have preferred longer but all the more reason to return!
