Mike Gerrard and Donna Dailey have written over 50 guidebooks between them, for people like National Geographic, AAA, Insight Guides, Michelin, Thomas Cook, Moon Handbooks and Dorling Kindersley. They've written for newspapers and magazines worldwide, and have won several awards for their books and their travel writing and photography.

It has some of the finest scenery on the planet, and in the Pacific Coast Highway one of the most beautiful road trips in the world.
