Enjoyed a free breakfast at the hotel and then headed up the coast again to Santa Cruz where we stopped off at the boardwalk. This is where the film 'The Lost Boys' was set. It's more accurate to say that it was the inspiration for the film as it looks nothing like it. Today it was totally deserted and typical of a seaside resort in winter. It's got an 80 year old wooden big dipper and loads of other attractions. Looks like it would be fun.
Continuing up the coast we stopped in a little place called Half Moon Bay where we found a British Pub called 'Cameron's'. This was a great find as it even had an olde English shoppe that sold everything from Irn Bru to Pataks curry paste and Cadbury's chocolate to Tetley's tea bags. We ate proper fish and chips and stocked up on polo mints, walkers crisps and maltesers, before heading inland towards Woodside.
We had some time kill so we went to the cinema to watch the 3rd Lord of the Rings - the Return of the King. It was good and now all the story clicks into place, but I do find it a little tiresome when all the heroes keep escaping death (just) and everything ends up as you knew it would 10 hours of film ago.
We spent the night at a friend of Mx's who she met on the Dude Ranch.
