Today before we left Cayucos and cruised up the Pacific Coast Highway, we tried to book San Francisco, Alcatraz was already booked out and all the accommodation was expensive. I left my wife to book a room as I had a shower, she booked us into the Hilton! And not for one night but two.
Our first stop was at the Hearst Castle but we didn't have 2 hours to spare to take a tour so we just had a quick look around the museum.
We rode through the area where the big landslide wiped out the road and a bridge. The road has been closed for over a year and only opened again on Wednesday, great timing.
Around Carmel the temperature dropped to a point where another layer was required, half an hour later the cold turned to hot and the hot air blowing up my trouser leg felt like it was burning like sunburn. I had been warned about that and told to tuck my trow into my boots, see! I do listen. However by boots aren't long enough.
Riding on the freeways and interstates can be quite intimidating, your crushing along at 80 mph and cars are passing like you are standing still.
We are camped the night and tomorrow at San Jose. Try to catch up on some sleep.
Go Vicki I like your style 😊I could handle the Hilton 😂😂😂
