More national parks in California
We didn't spend the rest of our time in California in the big cities, but in a few other national parks, which, like the big cities, are numerous in this state. But the first...
Los Angeles and San Diego
"Los Angeles" often means not just the city, but the densely populated County of Los Angeles, in which all the cities merge into one another. One of these cities is Santa...
California's coast between SF and LA
We continued south, following as much of the coast as possible. This largely corresponded to US Highway 101, but here in California there is also California State Highway 1,...
San Francisco
Our first stop on the way to San Francisco was a detour inland to the Enterprise rental car lot in Ukiah, where we wanted to trade in our old car (a Nissan Versa, by the way,...
Red trees in Northern California
In Northern California, there was initially a lot of fog on the coast and a lot of forests. In Redwoods National Park, which was our first major stop here, the special feature...
Oregon
We continued driving south on Highway 101 and crossed the Columbia River, which forms the border between the states of Washington and Oregon. Our first stop in Oregon was right...
More of Washington State
After leaving Seattle, the largest city in the state of Washington, we continued to explore this state in the following days. We visited two of the three national parks there...
Seattle
Our original plan for the US was to fly to Los Angeles, then drive along the West Coast and finally cross to the East Coast, but because we now had three months instead of two,...
Alsace and southern France
Between the two larger trips, we drove with our motorhome for almost two weeks from Villingen through France. We found parking spaces using the convenient Park4Night app for...
Uyuni, La Paz, interim end
The bus ride out of the Atacama Desert to Bolivia was once again one of the more exhausting rides, even though it was not a night bus ride. In the buses, you can usually recline...
San Pedro de Atacama
Since this is a personal contribution from me (Judith), I will write it from my perspective. San Pedro de Atacama is our last destination in Chile and was at the top of my...
La Serena
Our journey now took us from the Valparaíso region to the northern neighboring Coquimbo region. Since Chile is as narrow as a chili pepper (which, according to one of our...
Valparaiso
From Santiago de Chile, you can reach the sea in Valparaiso in just two hours by bus. Many travelers say they prefer Valparaiso to Santiago, and we can understand why. We also...
Santiago de Chile
Our bus ride from Mendoza to Santiago de Chile took us back into the Andes. Judith's plan to reserve the (slightly more expensive) front seats on the upper level of the bus so...
Mendoza and final thoughts on Argentina
We have reached our last stop in Argentina with Mendoza. Originally, we had planned to visit Salta in the north before Mendoza. However, there is currently a major dengue fever...
Cordova
The bus ride to Córdoba was supposed to be as exciting as buying the tickets beforehand. At the beginning, we ate the packed lunches from our previous accommodation, although...
Iguazu Falls
Our next stop was the Iguazu Falls on the border between Argentina and Brazil. We stayed in the Argentine tourist town of Puerto de Iguazu for three nights, which exists...
Buenos Aires
After a tiring flight with little sleep and legroom, we arrived in Buenos Aires early in the morning, where a driver organized by the accommodation was waiting for us. With the...
Los geht's!
Nachdem wir von allen möglichen Seiten gefragt wurden, ob wir einen Reiseblog schreiben werden, haben wir uns nun doch dazu entschieden, das zu tun. So sitzen wir gerade am...
