Highway 1 to Sonoma

Our longest and prettiest drive so far was the highway 1 from LA to Sonoma. We started it a bit too early but the rolling hills, big trees and rural houses had their charm too. I guess Morro Bay is the "official" starting point for the highway 1 to see the coast. And of course, it is breathtaking. You drive along a mountain side and hundreds of meters below you can see the Pacific Ocean. This goes on for at least 100 kilometers. Too bad we got stuck in a traffic jam right after hwy 1 and thus arrived in Sonoma quite late.

Next day we took a wine tasting tour around Sonoma. We don't spit a good wine (or any wine for that matter) and the breakfast was a slice of cake so the tour became very upbeat very fast.

Pro tips:

-Take your ID with you for the wine tour. They might ask them.
-Fuel up before heading to hwy 1.

Today, we'll go to jelly belly factory and continue to San Francisco.

-Tuoppi

Sea elephants!

Bit of hwy 1.
