Sight for amazing sight Victoria's Great Ocean Road matches anything on the Cabrillo Highway but the latter has so many more of them. Impossible to describe and equally hard to photograph (but you knew I would have to have a go anyway)Arrived at Monterey around lunch time and ended up at the very touristy Fishermans Wharf. Had the omni present clam chowder in a sour dough bread bowl. Wasn't disappointed. Moved on to Santa Cruz to see the Monarch Butterfly nesting but technology let me down (either there are duplicate street names in Santa Cruz or the Satnav is confused). However time was wasting so on to San Francisco. Managed to time that with a severe storm (1.5 inches of rain in about 20 mins). 5 lanes of cars travelling a stupid speed, road inches deep in water and nowhere to pull over was not a highlight!!
Got here in the end though. Nice hotel with views of Alcatraz and the Bay around to the Bay bridge. Golden Gate bridge not visible from the apartment but is from the rooftop deck one flight of stairs up.
Going on a tour of the city today to see what is here and what might be worth checking out in detail later
