Day 2

What a day! Epic journey. No punctures on the bike but two punctured cyclists lol
Set off early but about 1 hr later  still in Santa Cruz after many wrong turns. Impossible to get  out of!
Eventually on our way - cycled through fields and fields of strawberries. Hundreds of Mexican worker slaving away in the heat picking your delicious strawberries.
Stopped for lovely lunch at a Mexican restaurant.
All going great but then landscape changed and had to cycle through wasteland - flat but a very strong headwind - very tough!
Arrived in Monteray - fantastic place! Very beautiful beaches and of course went through the famous Cannery Row!!
Cycled the 17 Mile Drive past Pebble Beach golf course - scenery and houses fantastic and arrived in Carmel.
Staying in Carmel tonight at a lovely little hotel and recharging for the Big Sur tomorrow!!!
