Today is the first day of crap weather on our trip so far, not bad considering we have been here for nearly 3 weeks. Thick sea fog has enveloped the whole coastline scuppering our lazy plans of spending the day on the beach. We start with the best pancakes (cinnnimon and apple) at the Grandpa Deetjens. A small restaurant off Highway 1. Headed up the coast soon after en route to the 17 mile drive. A privately owned loop of road that runs around the Monteray Pennisular. $8.50 gave us access to what seemed to be an incredibly exclusive, expensive housing estate. 3 of the worlds best golf courses reside within the drive. It may be worth doing on a clear day for the views of Monteray Bay and the surrounding coastline, but all we could see was fog.
Nice to stroll along the many surfing beaches and watch them do their stuff. Damn cold and windy day though, but I guess that makes for good surf.
