Slept ok last night.  Didn’t wake until about 8am again.  Although we have over 150 miles to do, it was all by Interstate so wasn’t a problem.

Woke early again and I ended up using my laptop in the bathroom from about 5am whilst I was waiting for Vick to wake.  Sad really that I can’t go back to sleep!

Woke at a decent time in Monterey and we made some last minute changes to our destination (see later).  We wanted to fit in a visit to the Monterey Aquarium which only opened at 10am.  So we kept our journey distance to 80 miles.
