Morro Shores Inn And Suites Morro Bay

Check out at 11 and set off for San Simeon, Rich's choice for tonight's<br>stop half way down the coast. Lots more waves and coastal things along<br>the drive, probably the least exciting part of the pacific highway.<br>Near San Simeon we find somewhere with lots and lots of MASSIVE<br>elephant seals, mainly sleeping on the shore making Rich-like noises<br>and a few fighting in ...

... gotten a late start, but it is just such a great ride. The fog was starting to creep in, so we headed back towards Morro, stopping wherever the camera urge struck.<br> We stopped in Cayucos, the little town just north of Morro Bay. It is a more developed town with tons of antique outlets. You could wander for quite a while in the stores. But we just strolled around the town and headed back to Morro as the sun was starting to dip and ...

... is at the southern end of the bay, and usually I have stayed at the northern end.<br> The hotel is three stories tall with the ground floor being covered parking. We had our choice of parking places. There is a small standing balcony with a nice view of the bay and rock. The room is nice size, with a refrigerator and microwave. Across the hall is the breakfast room which we will sample in the morning. Nice for us, they have an ...

06/11/2009 - We left our peaceful b&amp;b and Capitola behind and headed south on Hwy 1 to Monterey, stopping off a couple of times at beaches along the way. The weather was a bit chilly though, and only the surfers were brave enough to be in the water. <br><br>We arrived in Monterey, checked into our hotel, The Mariposa Inn, and headed down to the harbour and beach. There wasn't a lot to see, so we took refuge from the weather in The London Bridge Pub on the ...

... During this time, we also saw at least 5 other humpback whales within the vicinity of our boat. However, we focused on these 2 whales, switching off the engine to just wait for them, and at times we managed to get really close to them. They were just awesome!!<br><br>It was totally unexpected, 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 ...

... a flasher). How do I tell her without vilifying this man? I welcome your thoughts. It is a tough one for me. Gary and JoeIt was like having an older version of my brother Christian and his partner Paul (my brother in law) being next door. It wasn't just because they were gay, they just reminded me of Christian and Paul. They were guy guys, had a deep love and respect for one another and had been together ...

... fish. The sea lions were out hunting fish too and the harbor seals were curious about us as some of them followed us along as we rode to different sections of the bay. One swam right under our boat! We paddled to an oyster farm, and then to the dunes where we had time to explore and run up and jump down them before lunch. Overall, I think Brian and I both enjoyed today's tour more than the one we took on Lake ...

... n the beach, but no other plans. Catch you later for an update. OK, I'm back now! We did have a good chill earlier, and I managed to add loads of pics to the blog. We went out for a run then, and went about 3o miles up the coast to San Simeon, which is near the start of the Big Sur. We stopped by a view point to look at an elephant seal colony. God, they're huge, and they stink! The bull seals weigh about 2.5 tonnes, that's more than me. Just! We could smell them from ...

After<br>a terrible night of fearful driving, we made it to the hotel and were<br>lucky to be alive, so we went for a visit of the Hearst Castle. This is<br>a mansion/castle built by W.R.Hearst and it just amazing. It sits on<br>900 acres of land, on top of a hill with stunning vies of the ocean.<br>The tour is very informational and the castle is beautiful inside.<br>Driving on to Solvang, we passed through rolling hills of ...

... had a happy hour (you now we love a happy hour!) and went in. Had a few drinks then decided to have dinner there. Got chatting to the barmaid who was very friendly and recommended places for us to drive to tomorrow. Whilst in the bar we were able to watch the sun set over Morro Rock which was really nice.
