day 6 ✈ monterey bay, 17-mile drive, big sur, pfeiffer beach


Monterey Bay was our first stop of the day. We didn't spend a lot of time here, because our main point of the day was to cruise along Big Sur.

(a mountain of sealions) 


The 17-Mile Drive is a scenic route which you have to pay to drive through as it's also a residential area. The views were all incredibly dramatic. The last photo is of the Lone Cypress. Apparently it's been standing there by itself for over two hundred years. It is seriously the definition of forever alone hahaha.

 

The view of the sea along Big Sur was amazing and breathtaking. I am so glad we made the drive down. Pfeiffer Beach was like a small enclave, perfect for a beach party?? I think it would be nice. The toilets there were shocking, haha. It was the first of the many national park toilets we would visit. You're peeing/pooing into a toilet bowl but your waste doesn't go through pipes. It just adds on to the existing pile under the floor. Hahaha there's no plumbing system or even a sink to wash your hands. The toilets are like that for many other destinations where you're closer to nature. It was definitely an experience.
