Scenic state highway 1 from San Francisco to L.A, California -

Tim and I drove this scenic route 20 years ago in 1986. Unfortunately this time around it was a weekend and we had to pay double the usual accommodation rate. Also we were unlucky with the mist off the ocean and for half the journey we couldn't see the sea! Unlike the freeways with their 5 lanes in each direction, this highway being the original road has only 1 lane in each direction.
