Day 5 - San Francisco, Ghirardellis, Lombard Street and Golden Gate





















Day 5 - We got out of our camp ground by 9:30 (Okay 10:30, ahhh! a very late start, we're okay, we're okay) and drove into San Francisco, our local tour guide Julia talked us through all the sights along the way. The First stop - Pier 39 and Shopping !!!! The shopped lasted a few hours and ended with seeing the world famous Pier 39 seals. We all then met at Ghirardellis sqaure for chocolate (free!) and Ice cream. With Ice cream polished off quick time we jumped back in the cars to Lombard street (The worlds widest street!!). That is our Element you see driving down. With Lombard seen we drove along the bay to the Golden Gate bridge, with some incredible views of the bridge along the way. We had to laugh a little as we drove past the crowded touristy view point as we drove up to our secret local view point with thye much better view. One hiccup though, San Francisco was so popular ad we had sucha late start we discovered a new team building activity at our Clear Lake Campsite - putting up tents in the dark!!

NOTE: From Day 6-Day 10 internet access is limited so please excuse if I can't post for a few days but I will try!! keep tuned.
