Highway 1 -- CA

Ever wondered about that winding highway - with breathtaking pacific on one side and tall cliffs on the other-  through which Sharon Stone drives her convertible on her way to her mansion in that 1991 thriller Basic Instinct?


I know, who cared about those views when the center of attraction was Ms Stone! We all were pretty busy gasping at Ms Stone's drop dead gorgeous looks and no body cared a damn at the natural surroundings! But believe me guys driving through highway 1 for the first time was a pleasure of unbound proportions!!

Our first drive was from SFO to Bigsur. We thourougly enjoyed the all the pit stops in between - Half moon bay, 17 miles drive and several beaches. The final destination was a waterall fall that opened right on the pacific. It was a breathtaking place with the perfect blend of wood, waterfall, sand and ocean.  The next trip I had on SW-highway 1 was from LA-SFO. It was a dream come true. I was finally driving through the posh suburb of Malibu. I spent good 3-4 hours driving to and fro between Santa Monica and Malibu. But to my bad luck I didnt get a glimpse of Ms Stone. Later I got to know that she was busy shooting for Basic Instinct -2 and that is why was not there to welcome me :)
