North of the Golden Gate Bridge

[Saturday 31st March]
Today we decided to head to the area of coast North of San Francisco - Point Reyes. As an added bonus this gave me the opportunity to fulfill a recently acquired ambition of driving over the Golden Gate bridge. Which was nice.

The scenery around Point Reyes itself was actually quite reminiscent of the UK - and in typical British style as we neared the sea the previously warm and sunny weather retreated and gave in to a colder and somewhat broodier outlook. Still, undeterred, we went for a stroll along several of the beaches, and finished off by driving over to see the famous (?) lighthouse, which was quite dramatic.

On the way back we stopped off in a little seaside town called Sausalita, just North of the bridge, for a spot of dinner. While the vegetarian option was a little unimaginative, Chie apparently really enjoyed her seafood stew type thing.

A very nice day out.
