At the recommendation of our driver (James from Flexi Transport) we visited La Jolla Cove (pronounced La Hoya) for a few hours. We had just been to see Torrey Pines Golf Course and we had time to spend a few hours looking around the beach area. We had considered making a brief visit to Mexico but decided against it as other people had bad experiences crossing the border etc.
La Jolla was an interesting place full of bird life and seals galore. We could walk along the beach front and there were several tourist attractions to choose from so we decided to walk down into the cave. The entrance down into the cave was done many years ago and was very much a health hazard walking our way down the steep steps that were rotting in places and damp and slippery. We soldiered on and made it to the bottom to see the Sea Lion that was living in the cave. The were boutique shops and coffee/lunch places along the way. We had lunch in a little coffee shop that had free Wi-Fi which was good and we could catch up with our news at home.
There were a lot of nice houses in the area and we checked out a retirement home that was right on the beach that had it's own putting green. After a couple of hours we rang James to pick us up and take us back into the city to see the USS Midway which was on our list.
