Big Sur
Well today was going to be huge with our plan to visit Hearst Castle and then head on through the Big Sur which is the home to spectacular coastal scenery. We turned up at Hearst Castle and had the distinct feeling of being herded like sheep and felt like we were about to be fleeced of the $90 it was going to cost us to go in here. We ended up leaving the 5000 odd vehicles in the carpark and heading down to the castle wharf where we had lunch and wandered out on the pier. We got to see our first seals hovering around the kelp beds just off shore. Managed to get a pic of some of this hanging off the pier pylons. I have never seen seaweed this long.
Next we tackled the Big Sur, 94 miles of twisty narrow roads. We had heard it was twisty but figured it couldn't be as bad as Kiwi roads. Well it was - try about 94 miles of the Brynderwyn Hills, but narrower and with sheer drops down to the ocean. Unfortunately it was very foggy as we were driving through but when the fog did lift it certainly was spectacular and very worth the trip. I don't know how Andy managed to get the RV through here in one piece but I do know he was really stuffed at the end of the day.
