Took the freeway south heading towards Los Angeles. Dropped in at Montery a couple of hours south of San Francisco. It was an old Canning town, now redeveloped with the main eye on the tourists passing through, Unfortunately the museums were close through lack of funding! The seals were performing a plenty in the bay though.

Further south the scenery got more dramatic with the road clinging to to the sides of sharp hills diving into the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean. Some magnificent views and half way along a colony of Elephant Seals to entertain. They were almost wiped out due to seal hunters but now numbers have recovered dramatically. And the way they were mating they have no intention of nearly dying out again.
