The Marin Headlands are located north of SF at the end of the Golden Gate Bridge and were a military site until 1974. Today, it is a recreational area. You immediately escape...
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...
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...

7 in the USA in San Francisco.
Last leg! Once again we got up early to beat the heat at Agua Caliente Indian Reservation. At the end of the road we reached a vista point of the Palm Canyon, an oasis of...
Today we had another slightly longer car ride planned. Our first destination was the wild west village of Oatman on Route 66. On the way, we stopped at a funny gas station with...

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...
Country Roads
Just like four years ago, we visited Universal Studios again. The great thing about these parks is that new attractions are constantly being built. There is always something new...
Refreshed after the first night in the best and most comfortable hotel bed in the world, we started with breakfast at the Cheesecake Factory. Overwhelmed by the huge selection...
Or: Frankfurt is boring after all

Exploring San Diego
To preface, if you visit LA, you must include a visit to the Universal Studios. To fully enjoy the park, plan for 2 days or order a 'Front of Line Pass'. With this pass, you...
San Francisco, the second metropolis on our tour is up next. We ordered tickets for a 'Hop on hop off' bus tour and set off to explore. The first stop was Civic Center, where we...

In the last few days, we are only taking short trips and chilling out.

Hollywood
Upon landing in Los Angeles, we decide on the spur of the moment to rent a car right away. This is actually a mistake, as cars booked online are always cheaper, but this way we...
Today we drove over the bridge to Sausalito, as I had booked a flight over the Bay and the city. This flight was conducted with a seaplane, something I had never done before 😍....
