Pierpointe Inn Cayucos

... yet the people were friendly and informative. I came home with several new wines to share with friends.
No trip to Morro would be the same without eating at Dorn's, a local landmark. Sitting high upon a hill, overlooking the bay, Dorn's offers great views to dine by, as well as great food. My mom and I were seated at the window and enjoyed a great fresh halibut dinner. We chose the fresh ...

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

... I felt perfectly safe walking down Front street, along the bay, with all its little shops and restaurants. Most everything was closed and not many people were out. I watched sea lions playing and the pelicans who were placidly perched on a dock. A great Blue Heron posed on the shoreline while tons of gulls chirped. Just being here seems to put my soul at rest - I always begin to feel totally refreshed.

... of having our own house for a few days was too much to resist. We packed up, checked out and headed to Cambria...So in the end, we didn't really get to see much of Monterey at all. To be honest, it seemed really quiet and not as buzzing as we had heard. Maybe it was because it was off-season, but Monterey wasn't all it had cracked up to be...

The drive down Big Sur, however, did live up to expectations. It was exhilarating - winding through the edge ...

... Barbara. It was a bright and sunny day so we enjoyed our garage bought sandwiches on the pier fighting off the over sized seagulls.

We looked in our roomsaver book and found a cheap Motel in Morro Bay for $29.99 + tax, so decided to stay there for the evening. Took the turn off route 1 and checked in to the Holland Inn which was really good value with a comfy bed, cable tv, free wifi and clean facilities. We went down to the harbour to see the sunset over the bay where we heard ...

We arrived at an Oceano County Campground early afternoon on Saturday with me still bawling and carrying on like an insane woman. Dave pulls up to this campground he knows about from a past love in his life (now that's going to make me better) that's basically a long narrow stretch of land sitting between railroad tracks and a busy county road ...

... and sat and waited for the parade to start. Horses, cowboys, veterans, floats, flags, and this one had one band - I think. It was also hot as everything, but it was fun. The parade in Cayucos was really good. It had everything you could want in a parade. Fire trucks, classic cars, a band, a kazoo band, tap dancers, a color guard of retired marines, baton twirling youngsters, kids on bicycles, and whole ...

... buckets of water at you constantly while you try to climb the 300 steps to the top. Totally worth it for the experience and views and to see the fat American kids sweat! Favourite quote of the day from round female teenager "I am soooo hot and just so bored already" - she had not even got out of the car park. We played by all the park rules during our "lovely 2 night adventure with nature" but the rangers did not, it seems they were rushed off their feet taking money from all ...
