Arrive in Sacramento and transfer to the Holiday Inn Old Sacramento (or similar) for an overnight stay. There is time today to visit the California State Railroad Museum.
Today is a visual treat and we drive through California's Gold Country to Yosemite with a sneak peek today before our all-day tour tomorrow.
Words do not do justice to the day we enjoy in Yosemite today with a full day, complete with expert guide, with visits to Half Dome, El Capitan, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Fall, Glacier Point, Wawona, Ribbon Falls, Cathedral Spires and Vernal Falls, to name just a few. This is a view of Yosemite most people never see and is an awe-inspriring day.
Another beautiful day as we travel to the California coast with a two-night stay at Zachari Dunes Resort on Mandalay Bay with its views, comfortable suites and only a five minute walk from Oxnard State Beach and our home for the next two nights.
Today is the ultimate when traveling, a free day to do whatever you like. Sleep in. Golf, enjoy the spa or outdoor pool or just relax.
This morning we enjoy one of the prettiest train journeys in North America, from Oxnard to San Diego with much of the journey being along the Pacific Ocean as we travel south to the Koningsdam.
Time at sea.
Los Cabos—sits at the tip of the Baja California, a narrow strip of land whose varied geography makes for great vistas. You can ride a camel, or enjoy more predictable pursuits including fishing, golfing and whale-watching.
The port of Pichilingue sits just 12 miles north of La Paz, a city on the Baja California Peninsula. The name La Paz translates as "peace, " but it is possible that the Spaniards chose that with some sense of irony.
Peaceful seaside Loreto dates to 1697, when it became the first colonial settlement on the Baja Peninsula and the capital of the Spanish colony of the Californias. These days, the town has spread beyond its colonial origins, but it retains beautiful relics from the past, especially of the Dominican, Franciscan and Jesuit orders, all of which were active here.
