The drive up the California Coast was amazing....a warm sunny day with a cloudless blue sky...one of the most beautiful drives on our trip. It was challenging to keep my eyes on the twisting road that lay in front of me and not keep gazing at the spectacular view of the Pacific ... it was magical. Along the way we passed the famous Hearst Castle...we stopped for a closer look but the tours were pretty booked up and we didn't want to waste such a wonderful day inside the castle.

We stopped for lunch at a cliffside cafe on the Big Sur....and we're blessed by seeing a gray humpback whale breaching...wow! We enjoyed some world famous fish and chips...very yummy. Then continuing down the highway we discovered a pull off view point which was hosted by some rather friendly...furry 'marmots' - I think. They really loved the flax crackers we had.
We spent 3 days in Monterey California, enjoying more sunny days and leisurely walks on Fisherman's Wharf. We then made our way further north over the Golden Gate bridge and on to our most anticipated destination to date.... Redding California.
