Travelogues California

It's going to LA with Hawaiian Airlines. The flight takes 5 hours with an A321 NEO. With the 2-hour time difference, it's already almost 10 p.m. Our motel looks like a prison.😄...

On Monday we left Las Vegas. We went towards Death Valley passing by Area 51. Of course, we didn't see anything (I must correct myself: we passed by a military base or something...

Finally warmth again. After a quick breakfast, we hit the road again. Across the Death Valley. A barren landscape, as you would expect from a desert. Cacti and withered bushes...

The journey is more difficult than expected. Sandy road for the last km. So the motorcycles stay parked for the evening. The people are nicer than expected. You get a gram of...

Spent the first day with Emma at last. Our hostel is right by the Walk of Fame! 😍 We also tried In-N-Out Burger right away (not as good as expected!) and met our first German...

Exploring with bus and bicycle

Point Reyes is located north of San Francisco and is a national seashore. The highlight of it all is the tule elk, which are actually more like deer. But that doesn't matter. So...

After the really relaxed days in Morro Bay we hit the road again and drove further and further north. So we passed a sea elephant colony near San Simeon and we were able to...

It was time, Los Angeles or as Bene says all the time: "Los Ancheles" is right in front of us and so we decided to visit the city of angels. It's not easy to drive into the 2nd...

After being happy about our peaceful sleeping spots, unfortunately, we had to move because the park closes at 9 pm. So we drove a little further and spent the night at the...

It was actually not a tiring day, but we still fell into bed totally exhausted. In the morning I had a very successful online session: 1.) Paid the buses; 2.) Paid the Golden...

Today we went to the ''two and a half men' and Baywatch beach: Zuma Beach. A breathtaking beach about 5 km long with clean water. Thanks to the slanted east-west coast, the...

7.5. - 10.5. For these few days, the route was mostly on a freeway... it was very exhausting to constantly cross on and off ramps and never be sure if the drivers could see us....

From the carefree freedom of the Californian coast

From the second largest city in the United States

Hermosa Beach...

Day 3 had a lot of driving. Yeah it kinda sucks that Highway 1 is closed in Big Sure, but I can't change it. So I drove all the way up to Ragged Point. I stopped by the...

Highway 1 down South - Day 2

Our home for the next four months...

The lonely three travelers

San Francisco shows itself from its most beautiful side, lots of sun at temperatures above 23 degrees. In order to be able to discover as much of the city itself as possible, we...

Despite the Spanish flair of Santa Barbara, a siesta was unfortunately not on the agenda for us today. Surprisingly, we were able to sleep until 8:00 am today - that was the...

After a short night that ended at 3:30, we set off for Half-Dome Village in Yosemite Valley. From there we started our hike. Unfortunately, we only found...

On Sunday we then made our way to Lake Tahoe, where we settled on a campsite not far from Tahoe City after a scenic drive. Unfortunately, there was no...

Today we arrived at Lake Tahoe. A lake surrounded by mountains, some of which are still covered in snow. We are at an altitude of about 2000m and have a temperature of 30...

In California, there is actually a castle and we couldn't miss it. A pretty wealthy man fulfilled his dream of European art history here. He built a huge castle from a...

It is well known that the perfection of commercialization resides in the USA: everything costs extra, and where there are many people, everything is three times as expensive. This...

Today we went to Universal Studios for the second time. However, since we were also heading to San Diego after this, we only stayed until noon. The drive from Los Angeles to San...

Today, we had breakfast at a small bakery near the hotel. It was a Spanish-run bakery with many croissants and breads. We also got a good coffee there. We enjoyed our breakfast...

Yesterday we drove from Lake Tahoe to San Francisco. The route took us along the old Pony Express route, the first mail connection established from the East Coast to the West...
