Odometer: 103,415 06:30: we get up and leave the hotel at around 8:00 without even a coffee. Shell is our rescue: we fill up on gas, coffee and tea. The plan for today is Hwy 1 along the ocean, to San Francisco and around the bay to Napa. At Castroville, the Artichoke Center of the…...
Odometer: 103,210 6:45: Marco is getting up. It takes me a bit longer to wake up. We take it easy and leave at around 9:00 in direction Monterey Bay. The scenic Hwy leads through vast farm and grass land, a very entertaining drive. In Monterey we find ourselves in a huge crowd again. All the…...

Odometer: 102,085 8:20: we are getting up late again. But never mind, it's only about 150 Miles to Las Vegas. First the Highway leads through the mountains to our left as well as to our right we pass high walls of rock. We then drive through Lake Mead Recreational Area. It’s getting hotter and hotter.…...
