Our first stop in the RV was up to Napa Valley, where the wine comes from in California. The place is jam-packed with vineyards and most offer tours and wine-tasting (which we tried). It was actually our first bit of real sunshine on the trip and this made the beautiful countryside look even better. The whole valley was very impressive with green rolling hills, well-kept mansions and grounds, and picturesque small towns. The place was fairly quiet (and full of old people) but very nice for a day trip.
We did visit the "Old Faithful" geyser which spits up hot volcanic water to a height of about 10m or so every 10 minutes (normally it goes higher but less often). Quite impressive to watch.
We also visited a "petrified forrest" which contained "petrified" trees from 3 million years ago which were frozen in time (they were turned into stone cell by cell as a result of a volcanic eruption). Kadi thought this was interesting but Conor thought it was a bit dull. Kadi says you should read up on it on the internet.
