Pelican Brief
This entry will be brief, and yes, it does involve pelicans. Morro Bay was where laid our heads to rest that night, in a car park near the water's edge. Next morning we could see our surroundings and were badly in need of some coffeeeeeee!! A tiny granny ...
The Coast
All through the night, we heard seals making noises. So in the morning we took a walk along the bay to try to find some. We saw a sea otter bathing himself in the water, it was really cute. Unfortunately the only seals we could see were out pretty far in ...
Everything I know I learned from my dog
Chance is curled up on his blanket on the floor as I write this, a picture of innocence and sweetness, his soft golden coat glowing in the lamplight, his breathing relaxed and even. He is the perfect traveling companion; ever patient, taking ...
The Bay View Inn, 8.15pm
... ; Paying less than 10 dollars for a pizza I would expect minimalist service. And the waiter that dealt with the bill called me "boss". Morro Bay is a mixture of allsorts, with a chilled feel. Tucked at the bottom of a hill, the seafront has a cosy, ...
From trailer parks to castles in one day...
... had travelled a lot (been to Perth, Alice Springs and Sydney), been married 4 times and now lived in trailer park just outside of Morro Bay. I think he went down to the rock every day to talk to people and enjoy the outdoors. He kindly gave us some ...
Green eggs but no ham

Dinner at Morro Bay
... the miles with barely any stops in any of the nice looking coastal towns that line the Pacific Coast Highway so we opted for a stop in Morro Bay as it had the best choice of places to eat (according to our guidebook). We had a wander round some shops and ...
The Big Rock
Just an overnight stopover in this nice little town, it has that big rock just sticking up in the background, it's quite bizzare. One of the locals described it as looking like some kind of Hollywood movie prop, I think that just about sums it up! The ...

Wow, where do I start?? We had a lovely, but long and tiring day out yesterday, when we were out from 10am - 8pm, driving up Highway 101 to the Big Sur, the wold famous scenic coastal drive. The road is really twisty and turny, with fantatsic views of ...

California Countryside
... was weird, when we got out to feel the water, is was really cold. Not a typical what you think "warm California beach". So we touched the water, and then ran shivering back to the car. We stayed in a camp ground really close to the bay that night. ...
Monday Monday!
... if you can even call it that. This is about as far removed from Santa Monica as you can get, which is what we wanted. Morro Bay is a little fishing town, and the beach area looks quite rugged and unspoilt. There's loads of little 'mom an pop' restaurants ...
Morro Bay (a US version of Leigh-on-Sea)
... a long drive today. Stopped by the roadside and the beach to have our sandwiches then it was back on the road. Finally made it to Morro Bay. Our hotel was quite near the bay so we parked the car and walked down. It was quite a sleep little town, clearly ...

Morro Bay
... we had to pitch our tent on gravel and Dale struggled to get the pegs in the ground, it was so solid. Unfortunately the weather in Morro Bay was truly miserable. It was cold and the fog meant you couldn't see a metre in front of you. We did ...
A Miniature Denmark & A Giant Rock

Morro Bay ROCKS!
... , us going on a tour in a random place such as Morro Bay, to spot sea otters and whales. I did not know much about Morro Bay, but I really did not expect much from this small town, famous for its extinct volcanic rock, the Morro Rock. It turns out that ...
Morro Bay - not as dreary as I'd imagined

California Cruisin'
... - I'm carrying a fairly sore knee courtesy of the Grand Canyon and it seems slow to heal. Maybe I'm too old to surf! In Morro Bay, a small seaside town where Scott & Susan stayed for one wedding anniversary, we decided to try a 'cheap motel'. ...
Sanity on the road to Morro Bay
... 1 when it became available. Again, you drive through farmland and vineyards. Lots of horses in sight. Finally we came to Morro Bay. You cannot miss it, with both the Rock that Morro Bay is named for that is a monolith, and for the ...
