Day 3:Monterey To Santa Monica

Awake again at 05:00, but getting better.
Meg now has a Tonsillitis.  A wee bit of a temp, so off I go to the local CVS to get a US Calpol and throat sweets.
After the medicine she starts to feel better, so decide not to visit a doctor as she has had this numerous time back in the UK.  Really need to get them out.
Leave the Monterey Plaza behind and drive down the road.  As it's extremely misty this morning, we decide not to drive Highway 1 as we've driven this before and just drive down Highway 101.
It starts of with loads of agricultural fields and progresses into vineyards.

Drive for 2.5 hrs till Pismo Beach.  Take a drive through as we stayed here the last time.  How the Outlet shops have changed.  Grab a tea and snacks and hit the road again.

Drive further down Highway 101/1 and stop at the rest area at Gaviota Pass.

Back to the driving.  Next stop Camarillo Outlets.  See the theme here??

A few purchases and lunch and the final part of the drive to the Georgian Hotel at Santa Monica.

We go for a wander over the road to Santa Monica Pier.

Buy a few gifts for people.  Back to the hotel for some food and time to chill after the long drive.
