Day 54 - Yosemite to San Francisco

---

Got up, checked out, then discovered that the hostel computer was stuck on 'free-vend' so we abused the free internet access and updated this rather interesting and witty travel blog until 2pm. The drive to San Francisco started out on a long and windy country road through some beautiful scenery of lakes and valleys but the constant swaying of the car made Louisa feel sickly, I felt a bit queasy too! Along the way we nearly got lost in Modesdo but eventually made it to San Francisco just in time for rush hour, nice. We drove over the bridge into downtown which was a bit of a nightmare of cars, trams, hills, and flashing lights, all confusing in the dark. We decided to stay out of the centre of town at the Fort Mason Hostelling International hostel in a 24 person dorm! It was a clean, clinical place, good if you wanted the boring quiet life with a generally older weirder crowd, most of whom seemed to spend all day staring at their laptop screens. But due to it's cheapness ($15 a night) we stayed 3 days. Had a walk around the area in the evening, a nice trendy suburb with buzzing bars and clubs.
