What time is it there?!

Next we headed inland through ‘Bigfoot’ country towards the town of Redding. We didn’t see Bigfoot and in fact we didn’t see much at all on this day as we were quite high up and the weather was poor, all misty and rainy. At the end of the day we arrived at the town of Redding, our stop for the next two nights and the winner of the ‘worst lodgings so far’ prize, complete with welcome ‘ant’ party ...... eeeeeek.

We read that Redding claims to be the 2nd sunniest town in California, this may be why its’ main tourist attraction centres around ‘Sundial Bridge’. It really is a sundial and it really is a bridge ...... funny how they came up with the name then!!!!. It is lit up at night so it made for some good pictures. In the day it projects the time onto a huge circle in the park nearby as the needle is 217 ft high.

Redding is also a prime example of a town centre that has been destroyed by huge out of town malls as we carefully followed the map to the town centre shopping mall to find that there was nothing there. A helpful lady in a coffee shop explained where the shops now were (a huge mall about a mile down the freeway)!
