Northward to Oregon

Thursday September 21st
After 12 days in California we finally set sail for Oregon leaving Eureka on the coast heading on highway 101 north to Coos Bay about 350 km further toward Canada.
But before telling you about the big ‘O’ we travelled to Eureka via the Redwood Forest highway with fir trees hugging tight curving roads with a side detour to the Avenue of the Giants akin to our valley of the giants near Denmark.
Nice accommodation in Eureka yesterday before late lunch down ‘F’ street to the Bay Seafoods right on the boardwalk overlooking Humbolt Bay with enough grub served at 4pm to feed us well, with a take away box to microwave in our room for dinner at 7.30pm.
Crossing the state line in Oregon we followed the 101 coastal highway with its spectacular ocean views to either rival or better those of California——or the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. While the G.O. Road has the 12 apostles the Oregon coast has 112 apostles—quite the most sensational seaside views you will ever see.
Tonight we are again at our favourite budget motel6 chain and tomorrow make our way to Newport and from there to Albany near the capital Portland and which actually took on sister city status with Albany WA back in 1977. Personally I would have preferred the town council back then to choose Albany New York, then being the domain of governor Rockefeller.
But again the pictures can do the talking
