Big Sur to Santa Barbara

Getting near the end so we are catching up on making sure we have some together pics

All great fun after a wine and the evening sun.
But next morning was a diffetent matter. 

"I'm cold".....came the cry
Low cloud. No traffic. But then again it got nicer.

Anyone who watches Octonauts will know these
Elephant seals
Thankfully the bendy roads stopped.
Outdoor lunch in San Luis Obispo
Santa Barbara
Airbnb camping on kate and alecs deck in the hills of their garden

Carmel to Big Sur

Leaving at midday after Sarahs lie in we got onto 17 mile drive. A chargeable experience.  It goes around the Monterey peninsular

We then were lucky to get a parking space at Carmel beach. Some famous dude used to be the mayor here
There were dolphins in the sea. Overcast. Busy. VCant go in sea
Then we hit highway 1 south
The sun kept coming. The cloud kept going. The views getting better. But it was a slow long drive with tight bends. So we were glad to turn up at
We used a site originally booked for alex tehrani who we met ten days ago in humboldt redwoods. He said he had made a booking and couldnt use it. Amazingly the timing was perfect for us
