We left Santa Barbara first thing this morning, & headed towards LA going via the coast road. There was still fog around at various places, but not too bad. Once again passed by masses of market gardens, mostly tomatoes, right on the outskirts of LA. We got to LA (actually saw the Ramada) had a quick coffee & continued on via the coast road down to San Diego. Then onto the freeways, screaming along with the rest of the traffic at break neck speed, amazing.
We got to less than a mile from the Mexican border & the roads on the GPS basically disappeared, so we turned off the freeway & headed back towards San Diego.
Around 3pm saw a group of accommodation places, decided to give them a go, had to juggle the off lane of 4 into 3, then lanes either side merging so 6 lanes back into 3, then they ended up going every which way, so we ended up pulling in and choosing to stay at La Quinta. Again, expensive, but what the heck!
Will go for a quick walk later on, but not sure if there is anything around here to see.
On Santa Barbara Blvd following a lovely tea (Sunday night) 
Just a bit bruised !!!
The coast road out of Santa Barbara - hundreds of RV's lined up for mile after mile after mile
The market gardens on the outskirts of LA
Coast road on the way to Malibu, fog still hanging around
Lots of gum trees everywhere
Beautiful bougainvillea all along the freeways
House in Malibu - looks like a dolls house
Other homes (& the gum trees) in Malibu
Storage place, again, beautifully painted
A couple of miles to the Mexican (Int'l) Border

Malibu houses, how cool!! I love the house next to the dolls house, the black one :)
ReplyDeleteDon't want to get stuck in Mexico...!! 5 kms was close enough, I think...

Santa Barbara Bvl reminds me of the Spain beach fronts.
