Road Trip! (and new photos)
Friday, 17 June 2005
I forgot to say in all the excitement of the past entry but we are currently part way through driving from San Francisco to Vancover in a great big massive car that we accidentally rented. For the road fans out there we've been following Highway 1 and 101 up the coast and have just got into Oregon, home of the many tasty micro-breweries.
So far, it's been well and truely excellent. We've been driving right along the coast which is pretty epic in places, through quaint little small towns and gigantic, amazing redwood forests. It was a bit touch and go with the old tsunami action for a bit there but it's been really relaxing and good. Right now we are in a motel in Gold Beach and I'm stealing someones wireless internet connection while Catherine watches dodgy cable. This is the life.
Really entertainingly people we meet seem very amused that we are from a different country. They are like " You sound like yur from England or sumin...". and we go "Yeah, we are." and they go "Shieet...that's a long way. You guys must be tired." like we biked over or sommat. We even hand a bit of a converstation with a 50ft high lumberjack bloke and his pet ox today. Oh yeah, we drove through a redwood tree the other day...it led into a car park with a gift shop. Who'd have thought it eh?
By the way, what I originally meant to say was...we got pictures from LA and Las Vegas up. Look at them. The LA ones are a bit weird but the Las Vegas ones are great.
