These pictures were taken out of the window whilst I was having breakfast!

Today was a tour of the very famous Hearst Castle and I spent over 4 hours there it was an amazing event and again just too much information, it is worth a google to read about the history of this vast and incredible home perched atop the mountains with spectaular ocean views.
The tour was very well organized and the photographs are of the pools, the guest bedrooms, the incredible dining room and the castle itself. Mr Hearst was a collector of ancient pieces of art and it is just incredible to see what works he has on display. This was a memorable visit and well worth the time.

I then continued on down the west coast to a small town outside of Santa Barbara called Carpenteria, where i have friends and Ramona is going to take a well deserved rest for a few days. I will explore this town and the beautiful area on day trips.
