Our main goal for the 5th day is to drive on Pacific Highway down south to St Luis Obispo where we would stay for the last night of the trip. We went through Monterey Bay, 17 miles, Big Sur and all those beaches on the way. The weather was actually not too great, but the photos we took with our random stops actually turned out to be better than I imagined. I guess the views would really be superb if the sun was out with a clear sky....Oh well...there is always next time :)
We went to this light house cuz we saw it on the magazine at the hotel. It's the tallest lighthouse in the states...or so they said....I personally think all the hostels built around it just destroyed the scenery...
We saw A LOT OF birds at one place....so many of them....
We stopped by Monterey to look around, but I wasn't impressed at all. I guess it would of looked better if the weather was good...
Stuff I saw at Monterey fisherman's wharf....I think the jazz performance was too bad the old man there needed to plug his ear....lol....
Some nice scenery photos after we left Monterey....
That is the famous Bixby Bridge from pacific highway....
We saw a lot of people and cars at one point and stopped to check out what's going on....It turned out to be a place where a lot of sea elephants rest and breed....It's the 1st time I see so many of them at once....and they were ugly....
The restaurant we wanted to try for the new year eve dinner was all booked even though I tried to call in the morning. I guess people do go out to celebrate for new year even in this economy....We ended up trying this place @ St. Luis Obispo. It turned out to be really nice and they had a new year special set dinner which Billy ordered. I would totally go back again if we happen to pass by any time...
The hotel we stayed @ St. Luis Obispo was very cozy. The lobby had free tea and coffee + lemon water, and a fire place where you can sit around and chat....Couldn't really take a photo of the whole room but there was a sofa bed with the queen size bed and also a sliding table...anyway...last hotel night of year 2010 :)
