Texas Y’all
30. September 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
So today we drove from Austin through the Texas Hill Country down to San Antonio to visit the famous Alamo, Missions and the River Walk (we took the powered barge lol). On the way back to Austin weWeiterlesen

ReisenderWow 🤩 you’re certainly seeing the many sides of the US of A! ❤️👍🏻
ReisenderYep! We’ve basically some places all around the country with a touch of mid west too 😊🇺🇸
ReisenderNot wrong! We’ve had that convo with many Americans. They typically can’t take much leave maybe a couple of weeks a year and typically take it in bits and pieces cos they are afraid to ask for their full entitlement as they might get sacked. They generally could never get 4+ weeks off in a row ! We are very lucky in Australia!
ReisenderI’ve heard that! Their health care is apparently f***ed too! We are, indeed lucky. Having said that; I’m pretty sure Australians see less of our own country than we do elsewhere too! It seems to be the way. I know that once I look into travelling in Australia 🇦🇺 it always results in me deciding overseas travel is more economical. That’s kinda sad 😞
ReisenderAgree - most aussies chose os including me. I’ve barely seen oz sadly but so many other places I want to see first
ReisenderJust chiming in very late to say that yes, the US has a million and one societal problems. LOL. Let's hope Trump 2024 is not the next clusterf***. And @Jason, I've seen the East Coast, West Coast, parts of the MidWest and South, but now I really want to go to the American Northwest, which I've always wanted to visit. I'm going to be so sad when this trip is over. It's a lot of fun to follow.
ReisenderAnd unfortunately oz/everywhere has massive societal problems. You’d love the north west etc
High Road Sante Fe to Taos
3. Oktober 2023 in den USA ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

ReisenderHow are you going to return to regular life after being surrounded by so much beauty??? You’re going to need to plaster your walls at the office with hundreds of photos from your holiday.
ReisenderLove ❤️ the description on this post! Very creative! I just realised this is your final weekend!? How you feeling about that!? 😳🥺🥺
ReisenderHaha thought I’d get a bit journalistic as we wind down. Feel great - we have done so much and both looking forward to the comforts of home. Particularly after this last week in the wilderness- our version of roughing it lol
