California - Down the coast

Driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles along Highway 1 and Big Sur, down to San Diego.

  • A view to a kill

    It was almost impossible not to start humming on the song "San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie.

  • A bridge too far

    There are signs along the highway that says 'Fine $1000 for littering'. I can understand why.

  • The other one

    This beautiful bridge was build in 1932. It is often mistaken for the larger Bixby Creek Bridge.

  • Seaside

    The cozy town of Monterey has an excellent aquarium where the sea otters are particularly cute.

    I wish there were more roads like this.

  • The ancients

    The Hearst Castle is located close to San Simeon, situated on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

  • Morning dip

    Another good place for a swim is the indoor Roman pool, styled after ancient Roman baths.

  • One is the loneliest number

    Seems like we're on the right track.

  • Ge mig Smørrebrød

    This is the charming Danish village located in the Santa Barbara County. The buildings and bakeries follow traditional Danish styles and some scenes in the movie Sideways were filmed here.
