The Napa Valley - 2009



A long drive back from Sequoia National Park saw us pick up an RV (Recreation Vehicle) in Livermore, San Francisco, then drop of the hire car (a bit hairy because of the height restriction at the airport) then over the Bay Bridge towards the Napa Valley.
We stayed in a place called Big Sky, and up early (4am) on the first morning, grabbed a Taxi to Napa City Centre where we were given breakfast, and then picked up to go to the take off spot for a Balloon Flight.
Unfortunately there was high winds from the normal spot, so we had to go to the next valley and start from there. Didn't distract from the trip or the views though. After the flight we celebrated with a champaigne toast, and soon afterwards our tour bus arrived to take us on a wine tour. Tired and somewhat sozzled we were dropped of back at Big Sky, there was no problems sleeping that night!
