Return to Robin's

We went to a restaurant called Katy's Place for breakfast after reading about it last night. It does about a dozen, if not more, different types of eggs benedict and I chose one with mushrooms. It came with three poached eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and middubs all covered in hollandaise sauce accompanied by home fries. It was really nice and we figured that it would keep us going all day.

We then wandered around Carmel for a couple of hours before leaving for the drive to Cambria, our next stop. The drive down highway 1 was great, although in a couple of places, the sea mist made it difficult to see anything.

We stopped a couple of times, for coffee, petrol and to look at the elephant seals that were sunning themselves on the beach.

We arrived in Cambria mid afternoon and booked into a motel. The room is nice, it has a balcony and a fireplace. We dumped our stuff and walked around the shops. Cambria is quite nice with quite a few antique shops as well as the usual galleries and jewellery shops that most of the towns here have.

We went to Robin's to eat. We went there last time we were here and we were hoping that it would be as good. It was! We ended up chatting to the family on the table next to us who were going to Hearst Castle tomorrow. Their two children were chatting to Alicea about her old dogs and were pretty well behaved.

Once we had finished the meal, we left and walked back to the motel.
