Day 20 – Driving Down The Big Sur

IMG_0696

Today is our last full day and night and we made it a good one. We were travelling down California’s Big Sur stopping off on the way to check out the amazing scenery. Our first stop was at McWay Waterfall that was coming down onto a beach where we spent some time taking in how beautiful it all looked. IMG_2173

Our next stop was a beach where a huge colony of elephant seals were resting. They were all males, sleeping and play fighting and rolling themselves up and down the beach. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any before and it was crazy just how big they were! There was a woman leading another group around so we stayed to hear some info on what they were doing and why they were there. Our next stop was a weird place called the Madonna Inn which was this really strange place where every room is decorated with different themes and the main dinning area feels like you’ve stepped into Hansel & Gretel/Sleeping Beauty … like i said VERY IMG_2197weird.

Our last stop before the campsite was San Luis, a cute little town where we walked up and down the streets before watching the final of the Football world cup. We even lost on of the boys as he decided to stay over time to see the end of the game (he had to scrub the van for that haha).

Back at the campsite we made our last dinner and looked back at photos showing our favourite ones and exchanging e-mails. I can’t believe how quickly time has gone but how much we have managed to do! Everyone in the group was amazing and we all really clicked as a group and as a team and i don’t think it would have been half the trip it was without them. As usual we finished the night having a laugh round the fire and probably making too much noise 🙂
