Dsy 107 Monterey-San Francisco, USA

Upon arriving in San Francisco my first thoughts were this seems like a very dirty and rough city.The homeless population is horrendous and apparently the worst in America.Although the hostel we are staying in is one of the best so far.The rooms are very spacious and each dorm even has its own bathroom which makes a change.
Once we had checked in we walked down to the waterfront where i got my first look at Alcatraz which we would be going to visit on sunday.Also down by the waterfront where the boats were harboured were a huge gathering of sea lions that seem to have made this there home.We stood there watching them for around 20 minutes as they are quite entertaining.Then after a walk along the shops by the waterfront we made our way to Lombard Street which is possibly the crookediest road you will ever see and how also very steep along with many of the roads in San Francisco.How they ever cope in the winter time with snow here is beyond me.Walking up these steep roads is hard enough but driving up them in the snow i really wouldnt want to do.
After making it back to the hostel and everyones legs feeling like we had run a marathon we then rewarded ourselves that night with a few beers.
