Labour Day in the Countryside

Packed up and headed on our merry way bout 9am this morning.

Interesting drive down one of the main streets of San Francisco - thank goodness it's Labour Day here and roads are quiet! Anyhow, we still managed to get pulled over by a Policeman on a motorbike! We were driving in the lane which is reserved for trams, buses and taxis. Funny, he took Simons license had a chat to another cop who pulled another car over for doing the same thing. He came back and handed Si's license over saying "there ya go mate"! In his best Australian accent. Once again no ticket and directions kindly given on where we should go!

We decided to head out of the city - its been a very busy, noisy 4 nights, to somewhere a little more peaceful.

Stopped about 3 hours west at a really cool little town - Jamestown. Had a delicious lunch in a historic pub in their courtyard. Bliss I tell ya.

Back in the car headed for Bridgeport CA. Travelled through Stanislaus National Forest. Aim was to find a motel with a pool and laundry and somewhere definitely very quiet and no homeless people. Mission accomplished.

Settled in for the night after the chores have been done. Love the laundromat here. Put the laundry on and go to the pub! Perfect set up. Motel room with lake view and an outside deck to sit and enjoy the peace. This is a novelty as most of the motels we have encountered have no facility to sit outside. Pic below view from room.

I'm in my happy place once more!
