We woke bright and early as we wanted to get a good start. We had pre-arranged to have breakfast at 7:30 and they especially made us scrambled egg and we also had a bowl of fruit and some toast and jam - just the stuff to fortify us for morning traffic. We had packed just about everything the night before so we had a last minute check around the room, opening cupboards and drawers to make sure we hadn't missed anything - checked out - and then we were on our way.
It was a long drive today - planned to be 7 hours but this turned into nearly 12 as the traffic coming up to and getting through the outskirts of Los Angeles was... to put it mildly... very slow. It was nose to bumper as everyone seemed to be making their way to the coast. As we drove we passed through places that had only been names before but which now became a reality, and we stopped for a well earned break, pizza and beer at Malibu beach.
We reached our destination of Morro Bay at around 8:30 pm - just missing the sun setting behind the rocks as we drove into the car park. So, after a quick walk (it was dark by now), picking up some milk and Liptons tea bags from a local store on the way (Val's first proper cup of tea since arriving in the USA) and a frustrating check of the emails (the internet connection was very poor) we turned in for a much needed sleep.
