Our last morning and the Cabrillo Highway
Despite my packing last night, DH decided that he had some last minute packing to do himself. He woke up before the alarm, started to shuffle around in the room and promptly woke me up as well. No chance of a sleep-in for me this morning!
We got ready and finished up the packing as we wanted to load our bags into the car.
It was our last day on holiday and we have a late night plane to catch out of San Francisco. For me, last day on holidays is always bitter sweet. On one hand, I look forward to heading home and sleeping in my own bed. On the other
I will miss the freedom of doing what I want to do when I want to do it.
After all the morning activity, DS was not in the mood to rush out early for breakfast. So, we hung around until close on 9 am, when the breakfast bar would close.
I made sure that I got a shot of my plate of food.
Ive also been having a bowl of grapefruit most mornings
Im sure gonna miss the breakfast here! Or maybe
Im sure gonna miss not having to cook breakfast.
DH had arranged for us to have a late check-out at reception when he settled the bill. Problem was
no one had told the cleaners.
So, after breakfast, when we went back to the room, DS were not happy to find out that not only were we locked out of the room (the keys had been reset) but there was a cleaner in the room stripping the linen. The cleaner was none too happy about having his cleaning schedule disrupted and I hustled DS out and into the car.
I had originally planned to be in the room till at least noon so that we could rest up and get ready for the late night flight. That was so not going to happen now.
With time on my hands, we decided that the best thing to do was go for a drive
.down the Cabrillo and into San Gregorio State Beach.
Sadly for us, the day had turned out to be a typical cold San Francisco winters day
.
.and there was no one else silly enough to venture on the beach.
Traffic was sparse as we drove down towards Pescadero. It felt like we were on a real breakaway from civilization!
The scenery of Highway 1 was stunning
.
and breathtaking. As I was taking these shots, it was the first time that it felt like winter in California. It was COLD and also misty and foggy
..
.even the cattle had other things to do
.
than to look across the road to admire the view
.and by this stage, DS had about had enough of the cold weather.
So, we headed on back
.
