Good decision to have a rest day in Cambria as we awoke to the sound of torrential rain and grey skies - camping would have been a disaster!
Having watched yet more coverage on TV of Trump's past sexual exploits and Hillary's misuse of official email facilities (surely US economic policy should feature somewhere in this presidential election?), we decided to use our day off to visit Hearst Castle, the private residence of Mr William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper magnate.
I found the bus timetable online but was dismayed to see the bus only operated at weekends. The motel receptionist informed us that there are no taxi services from Cambria so that was that - not really an option to cycle there in the pouring rain uphill to arrive drenched.
So, we wandered into the charming town of Cambria, which was full of scarecrows of various characters, all wrapped in polythene to protect them from the rain - it is the annual scarecrow festival here - amazing!
The weather cleared in the afternoon with the temperature back up to 70° so we got on our bikes and rode down to the beach for a walk and paddle - all very relaxing - almost felt like a normal holiday!
Back to the cycling first thing tomorrow - 50 miles on the agenda according to my route planner (aka Rob).
Great photos. What is economic policy- is that some obscure British term?
