We got to a whole strip of motels, and Santana and Suzanne thought that an ocean view would be nice, as we were there anyway. However the rooms didn't 'feel' right, or were over priced. Across the road there were more motels (not offering a view of the ocean) so we went to check them out too. I stayed in the car while the ladies went to suss out the rooms available. Eventually, success! It was upstairs, facing the water, and sounded nice. It was! The largest room we had on the whole trip. Fireplace, large couch, table, balcony with as good a view of the ocean as we could have hoped for, considering the fog, and the time of night. We went for dinner in a fish resturaunt nearby that the receptionist said was nice. (It was too) Back to the room and after consultations on the plans for visiting Hearst Castle the next morning we retired to bed. The fog had lifed by morning and it provided us with a lovely bright and early start to the day. We set off for Hearst Castle about quarter to eight. |
