Road Trippin’ in the Golden State: Highway 1 North

North Ca - coastal drive

We last explored Highway 1 South, stopping off at Monterey Bay.  Now, as we head north, we’ll discover the culinary wonders of San Francisco, the award winning vintages of California’s Wine Country, and the amazing wilds of Coastal Northern California.  And as you will be in the wild for several stretches and facing the possibility of car break down cover your rental with insurance that includes a free tow or two, as it may cost a few nights worth of accommodation to get towed back to civilization.  Bringing emergency flares and road cones won’t hurt either as the Highway can grow quite twisty in places and giving on-coming drivers as much warning as possible will benefit both parties. If you do find yourself in a breakdown situation, this wisest thing to do is get www.androidcasino.com.au on your smartphone and start making some big bucks to pay for it all!

Now that I’ve frightened you a bit and enhanced the sense of adventure, let’s stop off at the city by the bay, America’s only “European city”, for a whirlwind tour of the offerings to be had.  Fresh seafood, world renown chocolate, micro-brewed ale, the curviest stretch of city street in the world, Golden Gate park, the Exploratorium and Aquarium (great for the kids), every kind of cuisine imaginable, from Ethiopian flat bread to Cambodian curry, Alcatraz, Civil War-era forts at either end of the bay’s mouth, directly under the Golden Gate Bridge, and of course, as you’re heading out of town, that world famous landmark itself.

North of the bridge, Highway 1 will run concurrently with the 101 as a busy freeway, so look for the road signs in Marin County and branch off back for the coast as soon as possible.  Not long after you will enter Sonoma County and meet up with the coastline once again.  Read the full story »
