Musée Mécanique

After getting back from Alcatraz Island it was amazing to see how big the crowds had increased as there had been virtually no-one around in the morning.

We then headed to Musée Mécanique to see the world’s largest (over 200) privately owned collection of coin-operated mechanical musical instruments and antique arcade machines in their original working condition. (You can play them!).

Last time we saw these they were at the Cliff House which was a bit out of town. Spoke with the owner and he moved it into town after his father died and he inherited it. It now actually makes money.

The kids had a ball squashing pennies and they now have quite a collection of squashed pennies at 51c each.

Once again, grabbed a couple of caches GTJT6J – Piering Around and GCBD0A – Laughing Sal
