Bit scary this - my first overseas trip by air on my own! At 47! I’ve always had someone in tow to rely on for finding my way around, or picking up things from hotel rooms when I have left them, and there’s no one but myself to rely on.

Having gotten back in the car, we headed up to the Golden Gate Bridge viewing areas – it was lovely and clear by this time.

Not too far to drive today: about 140 miles to Monterey. On the way, we plan to stop off at Sausalito, just to the north of San Francisco, over the Golden Gate Bridge.

We decided to leave early this morning. There's another 240 odd miles to do today. Just under 4 hours if we take the direct route.

I think the food last night got the better of me; I was awake for about an hour but managed to get back to sleep.

We were relieved when we finally got back to the car. From there we drove into Yachats and found somewhere for coffee.
