Travelogues California

A hop on hop off tour was on our program for the past two days. We made a stop at Beverly Hills. It's obviously a quarter of the rich. There are beautiful villas there and palm...

After a relatively comfortable night (despite the location of the "overnight place" on Highway 1), we get up early to pack our things (how do we get everything back into our...

Today we have a really long stage ahead of us. 300 miles through Yosemite via Tioga Road and Route 395 to Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park. Although we are on the...

Enjoy a cozy breakfast and then leisurely pack your bags. That's how our day started today. The plan was to drive further down Highway No 1 to Bixby Creek Bridge and then to...

The evening we arrived in San Francisco, we stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge viewpoint before driving over it. It was a fantastic view of the city with the iconic bridge in...

Wir fuhren weiter südlich und machten zuerst Halt in der schönen kleinen Stadt Trinidad. Im Hafen sah ich sogar für ein paar Sekunden eine schwimmende Robbe. Auf der malerischen...

West Coast Adventure with our Nissan Versa :)

San Francisco Zoo and the artist district: 'Mission District' After getting acquainted with the hostel kitchen and preparing ourselves a more or less substantial breakfast, we...

Legend drops me off on the road that leads to the spot where I was picked up yesterday. I walk down the road for about a mile and get back on the trail. With my headlamp on, I...

Cloudy, later followed by storm and rain at about 7°C. So Los Angeles wasn't quite what I imagined. There I stood, with REM in my ear, 'Leaving New York is not easy'. The...

One day after climbing Mount Whitney, the spectacular journey continues. This is the most beautiful stage on the PCT so far. First, I hike through forests and grasslands,...

We picked up our rental car exactly at 10am. I had already reserved a Ford Mustang convertible in Germany, but unfortunately, they didn't have it. Instead, we're driving around...

After a hearty breakfast at the Hilton, we took off promptly at 10:25 a.m. with the A380-800 plane named Fleicher. The 11.5-hour flight dragged on like chewing gum. Even the...

The drive to Las Vegas through the desert was originally planned as a 'pure transfer' and turned into an adventure. After leaving the city limits of L.A., I could already see...

Today we had Malibu on the radar for the first time. The houses there are amazing. Many celebrities live there. Unfortunately, everything is fenced off. You can see the houses...

Yesterday afternoon we arrived in San Francisco. The first thing we noticed: incredibly steep streets. Arriving at the hotel, we wanted to check into our room. Or so we thought....

On 12.10. we got up early because we had something special planned. After the first coffee, we quickly got ready. Two hours later, we finally arrived, even though we got caught in...

Yesterday we arrived in Los Angeles after a three-hour bus ride. After enjoying a delicious Italian dinner, we soon drifted off to sleep on our pillows. But before that, we...

You won't guess it, but we .... got up early today! This time not because of smoke or too many people, but because of the heat 😉 That's only acceptable for Zoë because she can...

When you hear Los Angeles, you first think of Hollywood and the film industry, where we also spent most of our exploration tour.

The Death Valley was the first desert we ever drove through, and we were surprised to see how diverse and varied the landscape was. At first, we entered a sandy desert. When we...

The beginning of our road trip took us to the famous Yosemite National Park and to some interesting museums along the way.

We flew from New York to San Francisco with 'United Airlines'. This airline is not recommended: the flight took about 6 hours, but there was no included food and not enough...

Yosemite reloaded!

...so yesterday we arrived in Los Angeles again. Nerve-wracking traffic around and in LA (worse than in Berlin) got to us so much that we just wanted to go to our hotel. So we...

12/29/16 Today we are going on the next, longer flight and therefore the alarm clock goes off at 06:00. A small breakfast, packing the last things and then off with Freddy...

With a laughing and a crying eye, we left San Diego this morning and drove squealing tires towards L.A, the city of angels. But before we arrived in the city of the rich and...

Unfortunately, our last day in San Diego is coming to an end and we are ready to leave tomorrow and continue our tour. But the last day in this beautiful city was really...

The moon looks like California 😋
