Rosebud

We continued the coastline drive through Highway 1. We stopped for
excellent breakfast in Redwood Cafe in a sleepy tonw of Cambria. Best
breakfast so far during this trip!

Very near fast the first sight of the day, Hearst Castle. The Hearst
Castle was built by William Randolph Hearst, a newspaper magnate from
early 1900s, and the real-life of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. And it
was very Citizen Kane indeed...

Also interesting thing to notice was that the Hearst Castle is the
second-most visited tourist attraction in the states, it's right there
after Disneyland.

Later in the afternoon we drove through Big Sur, stopped every once in
a while to take pictures of the amazing coastline and the sea, and had
a lunch stop in restaurant Nepenthe of the cliff by the shire (Orson
Welles had orginally bought a cottage in the restaurant's place for
his wife Rita Hayworth). On the way we saw elephant seal and otters
among other sea wildlife.

You wouldn't think it but the californian
coast has an abundance of sea mammals and other sea life.

In the evening we arrived to Monterey where we booked a whale watching
trip for the next day, did some laundry and went to fish restaurant
for dinner as you are supposed to do while in Monterey.
