Choir Tour from Christchurch - San Francisco

A long flight which made everyone tired.

Choir Tour from Christchurch - San Francisco

Inside of Grace Cathedral

Hi everyone,

 

We flew domestic from Christchurch to Auckland to catch our international flight, everyone was wide awake.  When we got on the San Francisco flight there were games and/or movies and/or sleeping on offer but no one was very interested in the sleeping part, every one was playing games and watching movies.  When we got to San Francisco, we transfered to our hotel to put our bags down and then went to the wharf to get on a cruise. 

We circled around the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz to wear off the jet lag then onto a seafood restaurant for dinner.  Then it was back to the hostel and bed after a long day.

Today we had a deluxe San Francisco Tour over the Golden Gate bridge and around the city.  For lunch we went to 'Jack in the Box' a burger restaurant and then travelled to Grace Cathedral where we explored and had a practice.   Afterwards we went to a food complex for dinner and had pizza and sandwiches with ice cream to follow.   Then it was back to the hostel and bed.

Sunday, we got up all refreshed and ready for a new day.  Everyone went to the Grace Cathedral to sing two services one in the morning and one in the evening.  In between the services we went to have lunch and have a look at the cathedrals gift shop to buy souvenir's.  After the service we had free time and a proper dinner???  Then we packed our bags and went to bed (not yet).

 

News flash Mr Oldhams boys sing out of window to homeless!

 

 Everyone says hi!!!
