William Randolph Hearst built this mock Spanish village on a hill in the middle of nowhere. It’s a big ol’ place.

Inside the rooms are decorated with antiques shipped over from Europe.

Stuart has, unsurprisingly, found dinner.

Outside the gardens cover the top of the hill.

The tiles make a cool slide. Don’t worry Jorge; Dave will catch you…

…maybe.

Finally the pool.

The bed is easily big enough for three and so wide that Stuart’s snoring doesn’t even wake Dave.Morro bay is named after the rock in the bay that was thought to look like a Moorish Turban.

It’s misty along the coastline and the wind is pushing in the waves.

Breakfast at Cambria en-route to Hearst Castle.

Today’s visit is to the Getty museum; a complex of buildings looking out across Los Angeles.

Dave is a little concerned about the number of cacti. He’s been scared of cacti ever since the incident.

Unfortunately the water features have been turned off due to the Californian drought.

The boys have a plan to restart this water feature; they’re just going to line up against this wall and…

….now it’s running freely!
There was even some art; but Stuart couldn’t be persuaded to go see it so they went to the gardens instead.

  
Stuart heads straight for Super Silly Fun Land.   
On the back-lot tour there are some familiar faces.

Dinosaurs lurk in the undergrowth but you have to look really carefully to see them.

  
Look out Dave it’s a flood!

 Shark!   

Stuart at Hogwarts

 Time to get out of here; via the gift shop of course. 
 

Time for another Road trip; but first a train… 

…to a plane.

 In 11hrs time we have to get a car to go find a boat; all the transport flavours covered in just 24hrs.

Here it comes!  

That’s Dave’s plane home. It’ll be a shame to leave the warmth.  

Dave’s gone to Spain for some warmer weather.  

Chocolaty!  

We’re off!   
Off to Moors Valley Park in Dorset to see the railway.

 Lots of narrow gauge steam trains.
