NY, NY.

Time for rest.
Our travel from Dallas to NY went very smoothly, a flight at 6.25 to Philly, then a 2,5h Greyhound ride into the Big Apple. Yesterday it wasn't clear yet where we would stay and now: there we are, right next to Empire State Building. Very amazing all of this !!

I even met someone familiar on our way :)

Good night.

CA, check. Next stop: TX.

We're back at an airport, this time in San Francisco :)



After a few great days along Route 1 on the Pacific West coast of California our next stop is Dallas, Texas.



We had a sunny & foggy time and saw awe-inspiring waves in Santa Cruz. Golden Gate bridge in the dark together with rain and clouds looks all like a gate to a New World, somehow ;)






The countdown continues: T - 1 day.

From Desert to Coast in no time.

After our Las Vegas desert adventure we drove towards the West and reached a small touristy and expensive place by the name of Santa Barbara. This very picturesque town seems to be the non-plus-ultra in tourist spots, it was neat you have to give it to this place, but all too fine for me though. This is our starting point for Highway number 1, our way to go and the goal for the next few days before we head out of CA and into Texas :)






Tonight we reached Cambria, and this is a completely different place in contrast to last night: small, little shops and diners around, all relaxed in its own way; and the nature around is breathtaking. This is like Scotland, only with a lot of sunshine :) We even were lucky to catch the rare occasional foggy fog fog clouds coming in; lets see if they have disappeared by tomorrow.

We'll be heading for Big Sur tomorrow. And then we try to see the elephant seals sunbathing.

Stay tuned... Countdown : T - 4 days

Night and Day, what's the difference ?!

Las Vegas is just wow:
neon lights, slot machines, music/singing of the slot machines, people with and without money & gambling the whole day long. All of this is mixed with shows of all kinds of types, over-the-top theme hotels and night clubs: we had a great time! And yes, we gambled and ... lost. :)



4hrs of sleep and checking out our hotels adventure dome was enough to get energy and then we drove over the Hoover Dam. Now we are back in Barstow where our Nevada trip started. We had a self made meal in a long time and head for Route 1 and the West coast tomorrow!






Californian sun, here we go again :)

San Diego, here we come.

After spending 10hrs at the wonderful Chicago Airport we finally made it on a flight :)

The windy city.

Hello to both sides of the Großen Teich :)

Our time in Chicago is almost over. Before leaving a few impressions of the days we spent in this big, "clean", diverse and relaxed city.

See you again : in the überbest city
