After many years of travelling the States we finally drove the famous Napa Valley. We should not have chosen Good Friday – traffic was terrible and hardly anywhere to stop. It was pretty, but like a poor mans France to me! We saw the Napa Valley Wine train which people paid exorbitant money to ride along the valley looking at vineyards. We both enjoyed seeing this well known area but would not re-visit.
We had booked the next site at Clear Lake as its Easter but it doesn't look busy – always the same when we book!

Clear
Lake is California's largest natural lake. The park sits on the edge
of Soda Bay, named for a spring of carbonated water that rises from
the bottom of the lake and bubbles at the surface. Just southwest of
the park is the most prominent of the region's many volcanic cones –
4,200 foot Mount Konocti. Konocti is classified as an active volcano,
although it has been dormant for thousands of years.
Had
a lovely Easter and we had the Laycock family tradition of boiled
eggs and Fish on Good Friday but no luck with hot cross buns! Topped
it off with Cadbury's caramel eggs for Easter Day!
