The night before we got
to bed early for we rose at daybreak to try and catch the sea otters. We
ended up seeing some wabbits and squirrels. Which was pretty good. The
bunnies were very cute.
On the way back to our hotel we asked this other couple if they had seen any otters and they said no but had seen some seals which we completely missed. They pointed out the seals to us and because heidi and i are blind we didn't see some seals out on this rock about 300m away.
We left Cambria, the scarecrows and the antisocial sea otters for Morrow bay. Arriving at morrow bay we heard sea lions barking. They were all hanging out on a pontoon. We thought we'd get out of the wind and have a coffee so we found a cafe. Heidi asked for a machiatto and was told that "this isn't starbucks". So we both opted for cappuccinos which if we tipped out the coffee we could have used the cups as bicycle helmets.
After drinking about half of the drip coffee with foam on top we departed for San Luis Opisbo (SLO). It was a nice place with an old mission building that dated back to 1775. The style of architecture that's Mexican.
We got some Japanese for lunch, it was an obscene amount of food again. Then we walked around the town a bit before having a cleansing ale at a bar which was "creekside". I was expecting a lot more mosquitos but it was really pleasant.
We then set off for Pismo beach and checked into Cottage Inn by the sea. The fog had cleared and it was a sensational day on the beach. We took a walk down to the beach. Pismo was apparently famous for its clams but between humans over fishing and the sea otters smashing them open on their tummies they're all gone now.
We had dinner at ventana grill which was a really nice spot perched on the side of the cliff with the sun setting into the Pacific ocean. We had a glass of bubbley out on the balcony and then shared steamed clams. For mains we had tuna steak and tequila lime chicken. Dessert was awesome we had a strawberry cheesecake wrapped in this cinnamon flour tortilla.
