The Golden Gate Bridge and Stanford University

This morning we made our way back to Pier 39 and then broke off in to groups. Half of the group wanted to shop while the other half wanted to tour. The shoppers headed for Macy's and Bloomingdales while the tourists headed for the Golden Gate Bridge and several other interesting sights around San Francisco - including seeing the house from Full House (the TV Show). The tourists also had Igor, the Russian bus driver, enthralling them with his wit and good sense of humour on their way around the bay. After the tour there was a ride on the cable cars in to town and a look at the most crooked street in the world. Once we had all returned from our shopping and touring we departed for Stanford University to see Stanford play North Carolina. Stanford won easy but the highlight was the group dancing on the big screen to the sounds of the Stanford school band. They were ably led by Andrew Parker and Callan Blackley and managed to even get on twice after a chant of Aussie Aussie Aussie. Tomorrow we are back in to the games and the SV team starts their final tournament. Enjoy a couple of shots of the San Francisco area.
