This has been one of my favourite days on this trip, not only were we lucky and pleasantly surprised, but we encountered views that simply do not have words to describe them! Lakes all around! Starting back at this morning, we headed out from Red Bluff, continuing the drive through Northern California. This part of …
Day 71 – Northern California
Today’s journey led us from Jamestown on the east side of California towards the North. Hoping to reach Oregon in the next few days we settled in for the night after driving for 223 miles at a town called Red Bluff. The drive once again was spectacular, California has a certain pastel coloured beauty, which …
Day 70 – San Francisco, California
Feeling sad about our failed attempt at doing anything yesterday we headed on towards the golden gate park. Hoping that having a nice stroll in the fresh air might reaclimatise us to the new time zone, it’s been really tough to adjust back, even though it’s not that big of a difference. We think it …
Day 69 – San Francisco, California
Arriving in San Francisco last night was quite something, it was spectacular to see the city lit up and we werd looking forward to what we could see in the daytime. After a very measily few hours sleep we woke in quite a rush to check out on time. Now that we are back on …
Day 68 – Hawaii to California
Today is our last day on this island, it has been a beautiful experience, one that has tested us in ways we never thought imaginable. We are both exceptionally pleased to have completed the mini challenge that we set ourselves, to survive the whole 5 nights in our eco lodge with some interesting house guests. …
Day 62 – Ventura to Oakland, CA
Waking in Ventura this morning Ben still wasn’t feeling 100% but at least a little better than yesterday, we’ve been hanging around the area and thinking about flying out to Hawaii from LAX, we’ve not really had the WiFi or the time we’d like to do the research we want, although we have now decided …
Days 58 to 61 – Los Angeles, California
Days 58 & 59: (1st and 2nd April) Rest Days Both of these days were rest days, so we don’t have much to report. We drove minimally around California, staying in the southern towns and attempting to plan the rest of this state and make decisions on whether or not we’ll go to Hawaii. We …
Day 57 – Newport Beach, CA
Let the sun shine bright! It was a gorgeous morning a perfect day for our sea going excursion. We headed from Corona to Newport Beach, a beautiful lush green area with a soft sandy beach, we are here to take a short boat ride out to ocean, where we will hopefully see some whales! We …
Day 56 – California
It was time to leave the glittering lights of Vegas for the sunshine bathed California. The drive to California was fabulous, entering the state from here was very pretty indeed the mountains climb higher than those in Nevada and the slow change between desert and beach environment was great. After being treated to a rainbow, …
