Thursday 30.7. (Point Reyes)

Around 8 we said goodbye to Don and Joyce and set off further along the coast -- we continue south on the I-101 and get to California highway 1, which is curved along the coast down to LA. It is very slow road, but more pleasant than the other large roads few kilometers inlands; highway 1 offers beautiful views of Pacific. When we went from Eureka, it was of course completely in the fog, but only few miles south it cleared out -- and approaching San Francisco, there it was again. We made a stop at Point Reyes reservation and walked to see the famous lighthouse, but the whole country was sunk in the fog and it was really cold. We continued toward the city, went through Golden Gate Bridge and arrived to Los Gatos, where Vickie and Hanns live.
