Seaside to Mountains (320 kms)

We had an amazing day today starting at the seaside in cute towns like Marina, Monterey and Pacific Grove.
What we saw:
• Seals groaning and lazying around
• Lots and lots of bird shit
• Heaps of eucalyptus trees and even a pohutukawa
• Some tasty clam chowder
• lots of tempting sweets and salt water taffy
• An italian fiesta
• A baseball game
• Some brave surfers in the cold water
• Lots of jelly fish
• Wood carvings of fishermen and bears
Then we hit the highways and started our drive towards Yosemite. We made one stop on the way to a great little find Casa de Fruta with amazing pomegranite wines, fresh fruits, dried fruits and so many other treats all in lovely surrounds and the most warm air and blue skies.
The remaining drive saw some amazing landscapes and agriculture, finished with a stunning sunset and arrival in the cute mountain town where even though night the air was still really warm. Another incredible day in the sunny California.
