Today we drove from LA to San Francisco! We went to pick up our hire car from the Hertz office at the Renaissance Hotel. We asked to add GPS to our rental but the only car he could give us with the sat nav was a Ford Mustang, 2009 Model! It was $10 more to upgrade, what a dilema, what do we do!! We decided we just HAD to have the sat nav so we had no choice but to take the mustang, what a shame!!
We walked back through the hostel as they were bringing the car out to us round the front. As we were walking through the lobby Nick grabbed my arm and started shouting "thats that guy" I had no idea what the nutter was on about and then I saw him and we both twigged, it was the guy from America's Next Top Model. Walking right past us was Jay Manuel, they black guy with the grey hair who helps on the models photo shoots etc. He was so much taller and thiner than he looks on TV!
The Mustang was a white, hard top - so much nicer than the last mustang we had. We wanted to do the coastal drive to San Francisco but had been told the coastal route wasn't worth it until we got to Cambria, so to save ourselves time we drove along the USA 101 Highway and then moved onto the coastal Rd after stopping for some lunch in Cambria.
The drive along the Big Sur was beautiful, winding around cliffs with amazing views of the ocean. We followed the road the entire way, even getting to see the sunset in the ocean. Unfortunately the sat nav didnt take us into San Fran via the Golden Gate Bridge but we did get to see it all lit up! The city was manic but we managed to find the hotel and check in before retunring the gorgeous car and walking back to our hostel for a good nights sleep!
