We decided that highway No 1 was the go. This is the highway that basically hugs the western shoreline of the US. I am a convert - if you plan to come to the west coast of the states and want to see some spectacular scenery and to drive some crazy roads, then this is the thing to do. From Monterey through to San Luis Obispo there is about 70 miles of unrelenting cliff hugging roads. The route adds about 3 hours on to the journey south but well worth it. Here are some of the pics we managed to get.
Due to the extended time it has taken to drive we have stopped half way at Pismo Beach - today we drove for about 6 hours, with a stop at Big Sur for lunch - my first chicken burrito in the US
amongst the giant redwoods. For those of you who were getting worried today was a beer free day, small victory?
At Pismo we did the beach walk thing as a family and the kids chased the light surf - easy entertainment and wears them out as a bonus! Here is a pic for those of you that don't believe I am here with my family, and yes they look like their mum (lucky for them)...
You can see in the photos that the fog was coming in. We saw a lot of fog along the cliffs and then as we came into Pismo Beach - it was nice and cool on the beach, but not too cold. I think fog would work on Perth beaches...
Anyway seem to have run out of things to say. Ciao
