The Big Sur... prise!


It's Au Revoir California! Here's me taking yet another photo (!) at Bixby bridge on the Big Sur this morning... a long but fabulous drive South from Monterey to LA. We also managed to spot a seal colony who were hanging out waiting to shed their coats. They were soooooooo smelly! Apparently it takes about a month to do this, they move further up the beach as more fur sheds... then hang out in the water until it's warm enough to move on! We were able to touch some fur that had been shed. It was like a wire brush!


We also saw some zebras about 2 miles down the road from these seals! Very bizarre. Pic on my camera so will follow! Ta ta for now x x x

  1. Your experience of the smelly seals reminds me of a smelly ganet colony in New Zealand. It didn't need signposting!

  2. Hope you had lots of fun in Fiji. We enjoyed a roast chicken supper last night with Jane and Brian. We used the handprinted tablemats from Fiji which Granny and Grandpa gave us after their holiday in Fiji - and thought of you!
