Coastal Trip - Day 3 - Solvang to Carmel Sept 28th

We saw so many great places on this day, it is hard to choose just a few pics and videos. Our day started in Solvang, then headed up the 101 to San Luis Obispo where we checked out the mission and heard the bells at noon. From there we split off to Hwy 1, headed to Morro Bay to see the famous Morro rock and then to San Simeon for our tour of the Hearst Castle. That certainly lived up to our expectations and was a truly incredible place and property. Heading north again on the 1, we passed some seals relaxing on the beach, made the gorgeous drive thru Big Sur, across the picturesque Bixby Bridge, eventually reaching our B&B in Carmel just before dusk. After settling in, we walked a couple blocks and stumbled upon Casanova restaurant which was a fun and delicious dinner. It ended up that we drove ~ 200 miles mostly coastline on this day and is definitely one of the most beautiful drives one can take.
