Cruising on route 1 to San Francisco

Driving on this road is a real treat and everyone should do it at least once in their lives. The winding road with a hill top view over the coast makes this route an amazing ride. The vista views are out of this world.

We also stopped by an elephant seal view point along the way. You cant miss it as it is well sign posted and it is definitely worth the stop. You can look out onto beach and watch the male elephant seals fighting from above for free, its incredible.

As you drive up you notice less palm trees and more pine trees. The terrain becomes more mountainous as you approach north California. We drove most of the day to finally reach Redwood Estate Park where we camped for the night. It is a couple of hours from San Francisco so it is a perfect spot to rest for the evening. Once again camping was cheap costing $20.00 for the night, thereare toilet facilities with showers (normally run by a machine that charges 50cents per 10 minutes).

We stayed at Redwoods for one night before waking up early for San Francisco where we had a hotel book in the centre. Here are some pictures:
