Here are some more photos from our lovely night’s stay in Trinidad California at The Lost Whale Inn.
The inn keeper invited guests to enjoy the blueberries and strawberries in the garden. What a treat.
The path down to the viewing platform was filled with ferns, wildflowers and trees.
Many varieties of flowers bloomed in the gardens.
First I must show you a shot of the sky at twilight in Trinidad, though it was technically on day 1.
Breakfast at The Lost Whale Inn was noteworthy.
After a long day of driving we arrived at The Best Western at Pier Point in Florence Oregon. This place sits right on the estuary with lovely views.
Today we are going to explore the beach in Florence. The Oregon coastline is different from the California coastline. There are no redwoods. There are a lot of sand dunes and what looks like a fun time to be had boarding down the dunes, but we are going to go out for photos at the jetty. Lunch will be back at the hotel on our deck overlooking the estuary, enjoying food we brought with us in our plug-in cooler, then we head off to Portland, Oregon!
Located on the cliffs just past Trinidad, in Northern California, The Lost Whale Inn is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited.
They have two nice pets who live here, a golden retriever and this cat, Spooky, who followed us all the way down to the lookout platform.
I have many more photos of the gardens, but here is one shot for today before we have to check out!
Off in the distance, this rock created wonderful wave crashes.
