Having managed to cram nearly all our paniers into the bear box last night, we were relieved to be spared a racoon attack last night so we set off early for Monterey. It was pretty cold during the first part of the morning (3 layers and still chilly) but the sun appeared at midday and the afternoon was sunny and hot.
Jackie, the young girl cycling the Pacific Coast on her own on a bike assembled largely by herself, caught us up when we stopped for coffee and then rode with us to Monterey where we parted as we had booked a last minute motel and she was camping.
Monterey is a lovely town, famous for the 1967 Monterey pop festival (which Rob keeps raving about - think I'd just started primary school then!), as well as a world famous aquarium and other noteworthy attractions. So, we're having a stopover day tomorrow to explore and hopefully enjoy the current warm weather.
