San Francisco - Day 1

So I arrived at the Amsterdam Youth Hostel, which is located at Taylor and Sutter Street, around 2:00PM. I'll speak about the hostel in another article.

I have been walking for three hours around the hostel, which gave me the opportunity to have a nice overview of the downtown/middle town of San Francisco and all I was able to think of was that SanFran is the most beautiful city I went to in the USA! Maybe the sunny weather helped (bye bye cold Northwest of America), but everything looked nice and alive! I went from the hostel to the highest point of the downtown, between California St and Sacramento St ("top of the world views" Lonely Planet.). I took a bunch of pictures of the city, seeing the fisherman's wharf, the golden gate bridge, I visited the small Washington Square where there were a festival, I went to the Coit tower (where you have another great view of Downtown San Francisco), where I met three funny Bulgarians with who I spent the night later on. I went to see quickly the pier 39, the most crowded pier of San Francisco (that you must visit!). All the port side of SF is divided in Pier(s), the very first one being next to the Bay Bridge (down Market Street), and the last one at the end of the Fisherman's Wharf "district". I spent the night in a bar where the barman (french) doesn't check for the IDs. We played pool for 2 hours, then we finished our beers to go to a hookah bar before going back to sleep. Such a first great day!
