The following day, we went to Hearst Castle, which was about 10 minutes away from Cambria. I didn't associate the Hearst in the castle with William Randolph Hearst, who was a large historical figure, and the man behind the castle.
Yes, it was an actual castle, and yes, it was in the United States. There was a really cool film we saw in the before getting the tour which filled in all the details of the history, but I won't bore you all.
The castle was amazing. We had a guide, who I didn't listen to much, mainly because I was firing off photos left and right. The castle is huge, and filled with all kinds of artifacts, art, and what not. It looks like something out of old Greece or something. I really can't even explain it well, because it is beyond those words.
Among the things contained here, were a theater room, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pool. And back in the days when Hearst actually lived at the castle, there was even a zoo which contained rare animals like polar bears, lions, and the like.
