Trying to move ever nearer to Temecula for my flight home I am moving a short distance to Escondido, a nice site with nice restaurants nearby, probably a posh suburb of San Diego, a couple of nights here and I moved to one of my favourites, Oceanside.
I booked into a very busy site one block back from the beach, to walk down in an evening watching the Pacific waves breaking on the long white sandy beach, the small groups of pelicans flying low over the surf without a wing beat, heading home to where they roost, and to watch the sun set over the sea every night was just breathtaking.
After three nights on site I decided to move once more, this time to a parking area right on the harbour side, parking is allowed for a small charge, although there is no hook up, no water or electricity I am fully self sufficient.
This was a lovely way to spend a few days reflecting on my adventure, I was parked at an angle looking over the harbour with only a sidewalk between the motor home and the harbour wall.
Sitting there I could watch boats going out sport fishing, sail boats drifting in and out, locals fishing from the sidewalk competing with egrets and California Sea Lions for a fish, often a fisherman would wind in half a fish, a Sea Lion would be licking its lips.
On two different days I took the coastal train down to San Diego, the train is called “The Surfsider”, it is immaculate, a double deck train, it takes about an hour and costs $5, about £2-50 return, a great day out in my favourite city, also no driving and no parking.
My next move is back to Temecula, my next problem is what to do with the motor home for three weeks while I am away. I was very lucky, a friend of my son’s has a large distribution depot where he was able to find me space out of the way, first class and free.
