USA Canada Summer 2019

The last day. Naturally, sentiment accompanies me when I wake up. My suitcase is packed in such a way that I just have to haul it out along with my hand luggage. No bags or the...

The breakfast at my great motel lives up to the attention to detail that I noticed the day before. There is toasted fresh bagel (not packaged), blueberries, and yogurt. I have...

The Holiday Inn is more expensive than a motel - but you are also treated to a special breakfast. Not necessarily completely different, but qualitatively much better. After...

I slept better, maybe because of the over-the-counter drugs you can get in the USA without a prescription. It's called Sleeping Aid, and indeed, a magic pill gently put me to...

Ich habe nicht gut geschlafen. Es sind mir zu viele Gedanken im Kopf herum gegangen. Ein wenig hat mich die reale Welt daheim eingeholt. Daheim - wie schräg sich das anhört....

Today is a special day. I am driving 400 km through the Nevada desert, known as the 'loneliest road in America', the Highway 50. There are only 2 small towns and a Pony Express...

At breakfast, I meet Arnie, who is responsible for it at the Super 8 in Susanville. And even if it's not better than the others, it's Arnie who cheers me up. He was stationed...

After seeing the most incredible sky of my life over Klamath Falls yesterday, breakfast brings me back to reality. I can't stand waffles anymore, I can't stand scrambled eggs...

My phone wakes me up at 8 am. I don't want to leave too late, it's going to be very hot. Over 30 degrees. The daily packing has become routine by now, and when you do it as...

Today another circle closes. Exactly 15 months ago, I started my tour through California and Oregon, and actually I didn't want to go so far north at that time. But I found...

At 7 o'clock, departing guests wake me up with a loud conversation in front of my door. The otherwise perfectly located room (because it faces the back) is not to blame. So I...

Today I'm heading to the airport in Seattle and I will continue my journey alone afterwards. I'm a little sad already. Even though I enjoy traveling alone. But in the past 2...

Today is what we call an interval day. We have booked our Ukrainian enclave here in Ocean Shores for 2 days, and can dedicate ourselves to necessities that sometimes need to be...

After a non-existent breakfast, we head south directly - but before that, we visit Bella's car at the end of the village. Bella is a character from the 'Twilight' film...

Today we start early, because the beaches of the Olympic Peninsula occasionally fill up during the day. The route from Sequim to Forks on Highway 101 is accompanied by...

A morning swim in the motel pool has 3 good reasons. First, it wakes you up, second, in this case you can have breakfast there, and third, no one is there at 7:30 am. So even my...

Our hotel gave us vouchers for a burger joint around the corner for breakfast, so we head there at 9 am and eat what the Americans call a breakfast burger. In this case, without...

There have been 2 Bigfoot sightings in the area where we stayed. And somewhat secluded in the forest, one might think that there is a small chance of being awakened by the big...

The standard breakfast in a typical American hotel is not for everyone. Especially 'biscuits and gravy', with the remarkably gray color of the sauce or the extra yellow tinted...

Our landlord Josh would make a lavish breakfast for $8.50. And he does everything here alone. Cleaning, preparing rooms, cooking, management. But we politely decline. It's just...

Waking up in a museum is a completely new feeling. And even the shower, which is outside the room, has features of an exhibition chamber, but in terms of shower quality, it's...

Stephanie from Ontario wakes up at 5:30 am, makes our frittatas, and our day begins at 7:30 am with the delicacies that this extraordinary lodge provides for its guests in the...

The breakfast here at Whitewater Lodge is an absolute dream. No plastic dishes or plates, a cozy dining room with long tables and homemade frittatas. In addition, fresh fruit...

At 9 o'clock in the morning we start towards Banff, one of the largest national parks in Canada. Our station for 2 days will be Golden, about 70 km from the park. It is very...

My retro motel let me sleep well. The night ends at 5.50, but I'm relatively well-rested. The breakfast is American underground, and posting a picture on Facebook causes sheer...

Too soon to be happy. After enjoying a pleasant 7-hour sleep last night, the jet lag wakes me up from my otherwise cozy bed at 4 am today. And no chance of falling back asleep....

I wake up twice during the night, but at least I manage to fall back asleep until 6 o'clock. That's enough to feel somewhat fit and finally do what I have planned: write down...

Until 2 years ago, I wouldn't even have thought about sitting in an airplane for 11 hours. But with Tavor, everything is possible. The trip to Frankfurt is vacation-prone - the...
