Day 4 USA trip - Monterey Bay Aquarium and long drive to Camarillo

Joshua joined us last night at 11pm. He showed up at the door of the motel room with all his baggage. HAven’t seen him for 1 year already.

We started the day by waking up at 9am. took our time and checked out at almost 11am. Had free breakfast in the motel consisting of bread and coffee.

After which we drove to Monterey Bay Aquarium. It is 100x better than sentosa underwater world. the marine life exhibit is extensive. it is a 2 storey building and there are marine life we can see near the beach and those in the deep ocean. We spent almost 4hours there because there r simply too much to see.

After that we drove to carmel by the sea. too upmarket for us. everything looks expensive. houses look expensive too. so we left and joshua googled a place for seafood cos after seeing all the aquarium fishes, we want to eat them. haha. so we drove back to monterey (2miles) and went to sea harvest fish market. about $20/pax for seafood lunch/dinner. quite nice. we also ordered fresh oysters.

after dinner, we drove to morro bay (120miles) using costal highway 1. a very long winding scenic drive. scary at times. make me car sick too.. the view was stunning. have to be there in person to witness it.

went to hearst castle on the way too. took some pictures and left. then we arrived in morro bay to see the famous ROCK. nothing much in this town except food. we wasn’t hungry. So we pumped petrol. a different system compared to sg. got to pay at the counter and tell them how much u want to pump. then u pay and pump. if u paid too much, got to go get refund from cashier.

joshua then took over as driver at 9pm and drove to camarillo (170miles). we arrived at 1130pm in Camarillo Good nite inn. that marks the end of day 4.
