Monterey -> Pismo Beach

Who among you knows the movie 'Up in the Air'? Probably the female readers are more familiar with this film, as George Clooney plays the lead role there. In the film, it is mainly about a lonely man who spends a lot of time traveling. The main plot is rather secondary to today's introduction, rather the focus is on the constant check-in and check-out at the hotels. For us, this has now become boring routine. Good day, ID and credit card please - Very gladly, here please.

With this procedure we have reached the place Pismo Beach. A small spot on the map and for us another stop on the way to Los Angeles. The original goal was to drive here from Monterey on the Highway No.1. Due to landslides at the beginning of the year, most of the route is not passable. Nevertheless, we tried to spend as much time as possible on this road. This also paid off with a great view.

For Flo, it was definitely a more than successful day, as he was able to observe whales from the roadside. We could also take a look at a colony of sea lions, which we had to leave quickly due to the smell.

In the evening, the first picturesque sunset of the trip seduced us so much that I spent the last hours of the day in the corridor in front of the room.
