The tour is coming to an end.

On our 4th day, it was time to wake up early. We all sat down for breakfast at 7 am. At 8 am, we set off for Joshua Tree National Park. There, the adventurers also had...

Our 2nd Hotel

Early morning

This morning we went to the Monterey Aquarium. It was very well done, animal-friendly, and informative. Unfortunately, we're not very good at parking in the US. First, we paid a...

20th - 22nd May San Francisco is an amazing city! It was especially great because we got accommodations with another cyclist right next to Pier 39. A stroke of luck for us! ...

10.5. - 14.5. We have been on the road with some other cyclists for four days now. It was a great group! Sarah from England, Marie-Claude from Canada (Quebec), Andrew from San...

Another weekend with many new experiences and adventures: a Steve Aoki concert, a stolen cell phone, and looots of cacti…

Last weekend, we spent time in America's finest City. San Diego truly deserves this title: we are impressed by this beautiful city, just two hours away by car...

Even if the budget doesn't allow for a road trip, there's plenty to do in Orange County and Fullerton is the perfect starting point for the most beautiful day trips...

Get in, buckle up and go!

On Sunday, we spontaneously went to L.A. and visited the Melrose Avenue...

'We've been on the run - Driving in the sun - Looking out for number 1 - California here we come'. These are the opening lines of one of the songs that I associate most with...

Once through hell, please!

On 24.04. we picked up our car at the airport in San Francisco and headed straight to Santa Cruz. On our drive to the ocean, we also visited the headquarters of Facebook,...

We arrived in Los Angeles and immediately picked up our booked campervan. Then we hit the roads of America. The first few days, we explored the area around Los Angeles and our...

Today we are a bit late, because yesterday the energy was only enough to turn off the lights and fall into bed exhausted. Our last day in L.A is coming to an end and we spent it...

Beach and BBQ were the two defining B's of the day today. Since both represent the USA and especially the West Coast, we tested both today. After getting at least 08:00 hours...

On the 17th day, we dedicate ourselves to the beach districts of Los Angeles. We started in Malibu, a coastal area known from many TV series. We didn't miss out on the...

After leaving SF, we drove back to the interior of the country to Yosemite NP, which is probably the most visited national park in the USA besides Yellowstone. It went uphill...

Our jeans may not be torn, but today we explored San Francisco.... Since our hotel only serves breakfast until 9 am, we were out very early. Thanks to the hop-on hop-off buses,...

Wow, what a day of extremes. First, extreme solitude and vastness on the roads towards Death Valley, then extreme temperatures (around 50°C) and extreme depths in Death Valley,...

Very beautiful landscape but unfortunately crowded with people. Had a cool hike with an elevation gain of 350 meters.

We were at the beach and went into the water even though it was cold. After swimming, we lay in the sand and buried ourselves. It has been a great day. Best regards 🐹N

There is a lot of traffic on the highway even on Sundays at 08:00. We are on our way to San Diego, about 2 hours of driving on 4 to 8 lane highways (of course per direction!). I...

After three days in San Francisco, we continued along Highway 1 towards Morro Bay, where we made a stop for the night. On the way from SF, we made another halt in...
