Another drive is ahead of us today, this time to Dana Point, to spend a few days with the Macdonalds, before flying home to Sydney on Saturday. We had a quick breakfast at Starbucks, and were on the road by 8.30am.
It is a relatively easy drive, but not that scenic, a few hills and lots of barren land .
About 80m east of San Bernadino, we ran into a large temperature inversion, and we could see the layer of low cloud/ fog well ahead of us in a valley. When we arrived there the temperature dropped 20 F almost immediately, and we drove through the fog (visiblilty was fine) for about 10 miles before we were back in clear air.
We made reasonably good time and got to Dana point in a bit over 4.5 hours.
Peter and Deirdre have a lovely house with views over the marina at Dana Point, making us feel at home immediately.
After setting in, we went for a walk down to the marina, for a light lunch and a look around. Dana Point really is a pretty place, and it is not hard to see why they have chosen to live here. There is no big city feel, a real village atmosphere and a great sense of community.
