California- Newport- Santa Monica

Hired a car and headed down the coast- First stop Newport Beach, lovely town - beautiful homes. Got on a small 3 car ferry to cross to Balbao a quiet , pretty , wealthy area. Continued along the coast to Laguna beach where we stopped for a nice lunch. Drove up to Huntington Beach and walked along the pier and called in to Dukes bar on the boardwalk. After driving through long beach we headed to Santa Monica - the end of Route 66. Walked along another pier and had a cocktail at Bubba Gumps . Dinner on the marina back near hotel- perfect day in California!Read more
