THURSDAY, 7th JULY.
It's not a long way from Camarillo to Malibu....part way on Highway 101 then through the Santa Monica mountains to the coast road. We didn't stop but drove through to visit Santa Monica first as we'd be coming back the same way, at least as far as Malibu. There were thousands of people at the Santa Monica pier and we had to pay $12 for parking, though this would have enabled us to stay all day if we'd wished. We spent about an hour there, enjoying the sunshine, with people fishing off the pier, others eating in the restaurants and snack bars, children queuing up for rides in the amusement park and squealing with delight as they roller coasted, were flung around in scary rides and had fun doing so! It was an hour filled with colour, noise and fun for all and was worth the visit but an hour was enough for us.
Back to the car and we headed back to Malibu, stopping this time for lunch, a falafel wrap in the Malibu County Park, a charming small park surrounded by shops stocked with expensive wares but our wraps were not dear, but were most enjoyable. Our return to Camarillo was via the coast road and though we could see the ocean much of the time, it doesn't seem to be terribly accessible.
