Today we spent the day at the Giant Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks. The trees are as wide as the cars, and the Park is home to the largest tree in the world. These giant redwood firs are amazing and the wonderful pine scent filled the air, making the drive relaxing (except when Bec was behind the wheel driving down the winding road of the mountain). We climbed up an old volcano core called Moro Rock and marvelled at the incredible forest views. We met some lovely ex-pat Aussies/Scots in the hotel last night and spent the evening yarning at Cool Hand Luke’s. Now we’re driving towards Monterey/Carmel/Santa Cruz through Californian wine and orange country (turning at a town called Los Banos, which we are finding hilarious as we are in a dusty desert area) . We’ll stay in Monterey for a few nights (including Halloween) before heading onto San Francisco for a little look. Hope all is well xoxo B & T
