It's a LOT more than a "couple hours" from Santa Barbara to Santa Cruz, no matter WHICH road you take! I think you lost a whole day somewhere!May 4th (Day 10)
Wake up and hit the road to Santa Barbara and stay the night.
-May 5th (Day 11)
Wake up, check out and take the CA-1 to Santa Cruz (couple hours drive), where we plan to check out the "Mystery Spot" that morning and stay in Santa Cruz.
