Sunday
Left San Simeon and rode back a short distance to the Hearst Castle, now run by the Californian Parks. Had a tour through the Castle, amazing rooms full of ancient expensive artifacts eg 1000 year old Persian rugs on wall, statues from middle east etc. Just an amazing dream brought to life by W Hearst.
Rode onto sthrn Calif coast. Often saw heavy traffic and miles of beaches with RVs and Vans toe to toe just off the sand. People having a long weekend.
Traffic got more busy as we hit the edge of LA some 90 miles from the city centre.
Found our hotel again the Hocienda just sth of the LAX air port.
Rory flew home on Monday, Hugh to England Tuesday afternoon and Graham to Aus on Air New Zealand just after Hugh. Ken, Paul and Gerald will fly out Wed evening.
More blogs to continue with individual photos and summaries to follow.
Thanks for all those who posted comments.
Regards, Paul and the team.
Sounds like it was a good idea to have spent most of your time riding through quieter and less busy places than California. Hope your travels home are safe. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
