As sad as we where leaving San Francisco we were pretty excited about hitting the famous highway 1 through the 'Big Sur.' The only problem was 24 hours before picking up our mustang convertible we found the booking had been cancelled and we had no car, but had conviently paid a non refundable deposit. So after searching numerous cheap car hire pages we managed to find a dodge charger for similar rates last minute, so felt a little relieved. However when we went t...

Driving over one of San Frans many bridges we were pretty excited about our home for the next week... And after dropping off Tom Harvey in Oakland, catching the muni and then a cheeky cab we arrived at our 2 bed apartment in the very up and coming outer Richmond area (a bit like tooting/Balham).

Then off will headed very nervously in Tom on the long drive to the national park Sequoia, along a very bumpy, ugly LA freeway. After a very exhausting trip to Walmart to stock up with food for the trip, we finally started to arrive in National Park land as night fell, so passed out in a RV camp just outside Sequoia. The next morning we awoke to blue skies and sunshin...
