We picked up the convertible today & headed towards Oakland. We spent some of the time beside the coast through Malibu & other gorgeous beaches. The sea was an amazing blue dotted here & there by oil drills with surfers catching the small waves.
We went through agricultural areas growing stone fruits, strawberries, grapes broccoli and more & beside areas thick with oil derricks.
A top up of petrol was less painful than at home; about $1/lt
At a quick stop at a neighbourhood Walmart we stocked up on apricots, nectarines & cherries, all delicious. Some bread rolls, turkey & cheese made for an easy lunch.
We fought some heavy traffic, took a few detours, some of which were even planned lol it's been a long, tiring but interesting day.
We are staying at Days Inn Oakland, just across from San Francisco which we'll go and check out tomorrow. There's a Denny's across the road so that was the quick lazy option for dinner.
