Finally, the third and final installment of our fabulous honeymoon. You may want to review parts one and two to get back up to speed on our honeymoon as this post is going to pick up where I left off in the 2nd part.
This installment covers our time in Yosemite National Park, the Monterey area and back to San ...
Welcome to the second part of our honeymoon trip. It's been a while since I posted the first part as I've been busy working my way through the photos. I also had to wait until the end of October to upload them as we were really close on using up our monthly broadband bandwidth allocation for the month.
Anyway, here ...
Well, I think life is starting to get back to normal now. I've managed to clear my mailbox and read through all my news and blogs etc and our sleep patterns may just be returning to normal, so I think it's time for a summary of our honeymoon.
As you will have no doubt seen, we visited northern California for ...
It's now 16:42 UK time and we're home and will be staying put for the rest of the evening and probably most of tomorrow. We've done the week's grocery shopping and the washing is on, now just to try keep out eyes open to tempt our bodies into thinking it's not 08:42 California time. Being up since about 8am California ...
Sadly, this is the last leg of our trip. We're heading up Highway 1 back to San Francisco :-( . There's not likely to be any more posts until we get back, but then we'll have loads of news to write about.
This last leg is a lovely route. I've been along this route before and it's very pretty and ...
Well, I think we've had enough crunchy side for one holiday. It's time to head to the sea side. You can't travel half way round the world and not go to the sea side, so that's where we're going today. We're heading for Monterey.
Today's approximate route will be...
Approx Dist: 165mi
Approx Time: 3h 35m
Now for some Yosemite action. We're moving onto the small town of Midpines just the other side of Yosemite National Park. This will be our base to adventure and discover the more westerly and southern parts of Yosemite National Park.
I'm quite looking forward to this drive too as it'll take us right through the middle of the park.
Approx ...
More crunchy side driving today, and depending on the route we take, quite possibly a different state too. We're moving onto out next stop: Mammoth Lakes, not too far from Yosemite National Park.
Today's route according to Google is likely to be...
Approx Dist: 178mi
Approx Time: 3h 58m
Today we're heading out of the cities and into the crunchy side. We've got a 166 mile trip from Napa to the edge of Lake Tahoe to cover. It'll take about 3 hours, but we'll obviously stretch it a bit and take in the sights. Might even stop in Sacramento to see what's potting.
Today's route will be something along ...
Happy Birthday Claire
Well, we're in for a manic drive today: right across Golden Gate Bridge and round several bays to Napa. The 52 miles are going to be a killer :-) hee hee hee.
We thought we'd take it easy on our first drive in the US. In case you missed it above, it's also Claire's birthday today, and ...
