US Trip July- August 2021: Week 3
Week 3: aug 7- aug 13
big sur/ monterey/ san francisco/ napa valley/ eureka/ coos bay/ portland
The second day of the road trip started off with a nice breakfast view of the coast at ragged point inn then continuing up the coast through big sur and final stop in monterey. Spent the day in monterey walking around and saw a few classic cars as it was the start of monterey car week. the next day a quick tour of pebble beach driving and stopping at the scenic points on the 17 mile drive (note there is an entrance fee) then slowly making up our way to daly city for a quick dim sum lunch then finally making up our way to san francisco. maybe due to the pandemic the city was actually very quiet, almost iery but we had to see all the touristy spots like the golden gate bridge, ferry building, pier 39, the painted ladies, driving down lombard street and a ride on the san francisco cable car. the next stop would be napa for a few wine tastings and a fancy dinner, not much else to do as it was so hot, even for a quick walk around town. we continued up the coast passing through eureka, TRINIDAD, redwood national park and CRESCENT city before finally entering oregon with stops in gold beach, coos bay, florence and with a final stop in portland. the northern california coast through oregon coast is so breathtaking from the giant redwoods to the white sandy beaches, i wish we had more time to enjoy.
