Day Trip in San Francisco

6 AM: Yes, I know it's early but we wanted an early flight to arrive in SF with a lot of time to explore before heading south towards the coast! Besides, you get to see a nice little sunrise if the weather's nice, which it was for us (:

9 AM: Arrived in SF and rented our car. We rented from Fox, which ended up working out well for us since we are young travelers and under 21.

Fox was a convenient company to rent from because they allow renters as young as 19 years to rent.

10 AM: Made our way to Chinatown and decided on Good Mong Kok Bakery.

The line was decent-sized when we arrived but the portions were large and cheap! Very worth the wait if you want to have some cheap dim-sum in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown.

11.30 AM: Went and drove through Lombard Street or Russian Hill. Better known as the curvy road in my books! 

Lombard Street

@isakwan

A classic SF spot. Be sure to take the time to drive down this quaint street for a nice view above the city!

12 PM: Headed over to Fisherman's Wharf and explored the pier! After taking a couple of pictures, we headed to the Palace of Fine Arts and spent a good hour and a half strolling through the beautiful gardens!

2.30 PM: When we first arrived in SF, the weather was cloudy but by late afternoon, the sun came out and the view of the Golden Gate Bridge was gorgeous! After we took some pictures there, we headed down towards San Jose to meet up with some friends and then continued down to our next destination.
