Day 16 - San Francisco - The City (1)

For all impatient people: the Golden Gate Bridge is a bit outside of the city and will come later. I crawl to breakfast with a hangover (I guess I'll never learn) and listen to...

Day 13 - Golden Gate Park

This day was certainly the emotional low point of my trip so far. (That's because we know each other well enough by now). It never rains but it pours - maybe I'm trying to do...

Death Valley

Okay it is hot! I mean really hot! Yesterday in the late afternoon I had a peak of 117°F (47°C). With the wind, it's like in an oven and you get roasted... It is the limit for...

Universal Studios and vegan Mexican food

DAY 10 Good morning San Diego!

DAY 9 Welcome to the state of sun!
