San Luis Obispo

21/07/09 Tuesday Day 341
We headed from Monterey to San Luis Obispo on the 1 highway which goes down the coast of California. There’s some amazing views on the way although at times we were covered in fog which seemed to take ages to burn off. There’s a couple of small areas to stop on the way down, most of the places having only 1 shop, 1 restaurant and petrol pumps. We found oil coming out of the grill from the front of the car. We stopped at a place called Gorda for a spot of lunch. On closer inspection of the engine it turned out that the idiot at Avis who put the oil in didn’t put the cap back on so a lot of the oil spilled on the engine causing a lot of mess.
We eventually got to San Luis Obispo and got another cheap motel for the night. It’ll do. That’s all I’ll say on that place!
The town itself is lovely. It’s small and it’s got loads of ice cream shops!
