The first point of interest was Morro Bay, since morro kind of means "fun" in Norwegian ;) And there's a huge rock in the sea there...

Near San Luis Obispo the road is 4 lanes, but it narrows down to 2 pretty soon as one goes north.

Near San Simeon is the famous Hearst Castle, which you can see on the top of the hill here. We didn't want to pay the $20 each for tickets, so this is all we got.

We were actually purchasing some of the most expensive gas in America at the time, $3.459 for a gallon of regular unleaded! (gas stations are pretty scarcely located on some stretches of HW1, so we had to get a couple of gallons...)
