Chinatown at San Francisco

Lake Tahoe to Yosemite National Park

 

Hi everyone,

So after our 5 days in San Francisco, and thanks to Nick from Lost Campers and his awesome advice, we decided to add the Lake Tahoe to our itinerary. And this was such a great idea! Having grown up in an island, I did not get to experience the mountains in winter, and our time at Lake Tahoe was simply overwelming! I canno't remember having seen that much snow in my entire life, not to mention the impressive alpin lake standing in the middle! We spent two days exploring the area, walking in knee deep snow (how awesome!), enjoying the incredible silence of the moutains. It is probably one of the most beautiful place I've ever seen! We then made our way to Yosemite national park, and again, what an amazing place... these big rocks hiden in the valley. 

We are now making our way to Death Valley...

San Francisco

Hey guys,
After our drive along Highway 1, we reached San Francisco last Sunday. The city is simply amazing: the architecture, the people, the cafés, the food, the shops etc... We loved it. Below our favorite photos of beautiful SF.
We are now in Yosemite National Park, continuing our road trip to some other crazy place! But more on this later.

Pacific Coast Highway 1.....Big Sur

Following the famous Pacific Coast Highway 1 towards San Francisco, we hit Big Sur.

Big change from the Southern California, nobody there, real wild, big cliffs falling straight onto the ocean.
We actually felt right at home, be it New Zealand or Brittany...(probably because it started raining too!).

Next update from the city ....San Francisco !

Aquatic residents of Central Coast

I am just crazy about them....

A grey Saturday in SoCal...

One cold windy morning a couple of weeks ago, we met Ron at Huntington Beach. After a quick chat he got interested by what we were doing and invited us for dinner to meet his girlfriend Angele that can speak a little french. Ever since we have been hanging out together quite a bit and they've been amazing with us, showing us all the good spots to surf, eat (my main activity now that I'm landlocked) and offered us a real bed to break the "van routine" :-). Thanks You guys for everything and you have a place to stay anytime in NZ!

We caught up for some surfing last Saturday while we were down south in San Diego. After a false start at Torrey Pines (close out !!),we found a little spot close to Cardiff-by-the-Sea, the sky was grey for pretty much the first time in a month but thats not a problem for surfing right?

Check out the ladies surfing !!....sorry Ron I got distracted by Marie for your last wave :-). The sun popped out right on time for a feast at Swami's Cafe afterwards!
