Down over the mountains and into San Diego. I'm right on the Mexican border now, my phone even welcomes me to the country. Lots of checkpoints on the road , with statistics saying how many illegal immigrants have been stopped on their route into the land of the free.

San Diego is on a beautiful bay by the Pacific Ocean. Drove up to the point for a view over the whole city. It's a very naval city with two aircraft carriers moored in the busy harbour.

My final drive took me up the coast past the mission San Juan Capistrano. A beautiful old settlement up in the hills, founded by Spain in the 18th century. Certainly a relaxing place to finish my coast to coast trip.
