Honeymoon Day 8 (Casa De Fruta, Pacific Highway, 17 Mile Drive, Monterey, San Francisco)

Started early morning on a coach ride heading in the direction of San Francisco. As we are driving towards the northern part of California, the terrain became less of a desert and more vegetation....started seeing more agricultural land. Passed by this small town....Casa De Fruta...where they grow lots of fruits and nuts and sell them. Quite a lot of variety.


It was the pumpkin season....so there were lots of it on display :)


Thereafter, we continued our journey and came along the scenic pacific highway....where we could see the pacific ocean..seagulls and even dolphins, seals from afar....the weather was getting really cold here....
We then drove along the famous 17-mile drive where the scenery was beautiful......

We stopped over to take pictures with the Lone Cypress Tree ... it is in the guiness book of records for having the most number of pictures taken with a tree.The area had lots of mansions and apparently many rich and famous like to reside in this area. We stopped again at Pebble Beach where there was a golf course apparently where the likes of Tiger Woods played at for the US Open. The hotel there is also posh and classy...

They even have Rolex clocks along the walkway!

We then drove towards Monterey .... where the old Fisherman's Wharf was.....nice scenery!

We the arrived at San Francisco and headed to the famous Golden Gate Bridge. However, it was raining and was foggy....we didn't have a clear view of the bridge.....it was really cold!



Thereafter, we checked into Hotel Whitcomb along Market Street.....one of the better hotels we stayed during this trip.....had a nice warm shower, dinner nearby and rested for the night.
