Day 37 - Malibu, CA









This is a great campground perched up on a cliff overlooking the sea. It was got quite chilly in the night but now I know how to start the furnace so all went well.

We had our toast and coffee on the picnic table looking out at the ocean. Pelicans flew by. Very nice.

We drove back the same route we took yesterday afternoon, following the Pacific Coast Highway, then Sunset Blvd., to reach the Getty Center. This time it was opened and very busy by the time we got there. A tram takes us from the underground parking up a relatively steep incline to the entrance at the top of the canyon looking down on the suburb of Bel Air. You will see from the photo how gorgeous the buildings are. They are a work of art by themselves. Designed by an architect named Richard Meier. It has been opened since 1997. Caught the architecture tour when we arrived which was most interesting and then we walked through the different exhibits in the different buildings. We took a guided tour for the Paris exhibition which was quite entertaining. We toured the gardens which blended beautifully with the architecture. A great visit.

Did some food shopping along Sunset Blvd. and got back to the campground for a quiet evening watching the sunset over the Pacific.
