I started my day with some waffles at the motel and hit the road early. I stopped in near pebble beach but I left my clubs at home so didn't catch a round. I continued south for a while stopping to enjoy the views along the way.

I was very surprised at how long the road trip was taking but then again I was stopping to enjoy the surroundings frequently. I eventually got to Santa Barbara at sunset and started looking for accommodation. A friendly florist allowed me to use his WiFi so I could find something cheap as things here are crazy expensive.

Once I found a bed I checked in and got some dinner before playing with my time-lapse video from the day.

I haven't said anything about Christmas lights yet but they are everywhere. I'm not feeling very Christmassy but there is definitely a bit of festivity in the air with all the houses being lit up (Eskom's nightmare) and big trees going up everywhere.
