Watching hummingbirds whilst eating breakfast on the patio is a good start to the day. We're soon making our way down to one of our favourite cities, San Francisco. Stinson Beach was beautiful but the Great White Shark warning sign at the entrance kind of put us off even paddling so we headed to Muir Beach where we watched a bunch of kids enjoying their surf lessons. Onto Sausilito we enjoyed lunch and the cosmopolitan atmosphere and then drove over the Golden G...

What a fabulous day! As we didn't need to move on today, a lazy day was just what we all needed. After breakfast on the patio we walked into Point Reyes, wandered around the little shops, sat and had coffee/ice cream before wandering back to the cottage for lunch. A short drive then found us on a beautiful beach, Drakes Beach, where we took silly photos, soaked up some sunshine, played frizball and tag with the waves. A yummy home cooked meal and a glass of wi...

Having escaped the horror of the campsite Point Arena was a lovely quiet haven where we watched Harbour Seals from the cliffs. In Fort Ross we came across a farmers market and bought some yummy goodies for tonight. Finding a small turning in the road we headed down an unknown road and found a beach at the Russian River Estuary where Harbour Seals basked with their pups on one the deadliest beaches in California. Here we played Frisball before continuing our jou...

After leaving our unexpected hotel laden with food for tonight's BBQ (well, garden burgers!) we found a lovely beach at Casper where Imogen invented the new game, Frisball. Having bought a frisbee and already having a ball, two people stand side by side, that being them two, and I use the frisbee to hit it to them and then THEY fight over who is going to catch it! Cabots Cove (aka Mendocino) our next stop was a lovely place and we spent and hour or two just mean...

Today started off VEEEERRRRY badly but luckily I realised my mistake early on. I'd booked a hotel in Westport, Washington instead of Westport, California (only about 700 miles out) OK, they are calling me "human" now! After an hour of trying to find new accommodations for the night we set out on our days travels. Bizarrely we visited a Victorian town (although we can't really understand why the Americans call it that). We've been in a tree house, a chimney tr...
