    San Francisco

    18 lipca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Have finally made it. Flights were all on time but when we landed at SF there were no parks available for the plane so sat on the tarmac for 30 mins. Getting through security took 90 minutes even though we had electronic passports. Robins fingers wouldn't make finger prints on their machine😀Finger prints all worn down from hard work. In the end they just took my fingerprints and photo and let Robin through with a photo. It took another hour to get to our hotel. We were all checked in and went to our room and it was still being cleaned. Were ready for a rest by then so sat and waited in the room until it was finished. 4:47 pm here so will go for an explore and a bite to eat to get into local time. 24 degrees. The scary little towel creature was on our bed. Czytaj więcej

    New York

    22 lipca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    After leaving San Francisco hotel to fly to New York at 7am it was 10:30pm by the time we got dropped at our hotel in New York. There was a note at the hotel for us to say we had to meet the tour guide in the Lobby at 6:45am the next morning. Our body clocks were still adjusting to SF time so took a while to get to sleep, then up and away today for a tour of the city. Photos show some of the sights. Visiting the September 11 memorial was interesting, as was seeing Central Park and Statue of Liberty from a distance.
    The tour finished at lunch time and we went exploring on our own. Lots of places to eat but no one is interested in serving me when I ask what they have,that is gluten free. So far I have managed to find something to eat. Neighbourhood Deli's sell fresh fruit so we are enjoying that.     Czytaj więcej

    Washington DC

    23 lipca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

    New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania are some of the states we have been through today. We are a bit over seeing memorials today. It is 9:30pm and we are sitting on the bus instead of looking at the last memorial of the day. It cost $450million! All fundraised by the community. Makes the pool at Mosgiel look easy. Have just been to Martin Luther King's memorial. It was bucketing down with rain but worth looking at. Tomorrow is a day at Washington DC looking at memorials. We are thinking we will do our own thing instead of looking at more monuments. Czytaj więcej

    We went from Usa into Canada yesterday and stayed the night at Niagra Falls. I will get some of Robin's photos to post of the falls. I didn't take my camera on to the boat. We stopped at this cute fruit stall for lunch, before we went back into Usa and are staying at a cute hotel in the Dearbourn area. We have had a swim in the pool which was so good after sitting on the bus most of the day. Czytaj więcej

    Sun setting in Chicago.This is called the bean but is meant to look like a drop of mercury.The view from our room.

    Chicago

    27 lipca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    We had another big road trip today after having a couple of hours at the Henry Ford Museum. It was very interesting and we think the Early Settlers Museum in Dunedin is of a similar high standard.
    We are now in Chicago and have a room on the 21st floor with great views. We are here for two nights so looking forward to doing a bit of exploring on our own. Czytaj więcej

    Capitol BuildingInside the building

    Wisconsin

    29 lipca 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We stopped for lunch in Madison, a lovely town where there was a band playing in the town square and a market day packed with food and flower stalls. The Wisconsin Capitol building is in the middle of the square. Each of the four sides of the building looks the same which made it hard to find our way back to the bus. It is the first time I have had to use my phone to find Robin who got a bit lost. I found him and we made it back to the bus just in time. The tour director runs a tight ship and we are all too scared to be late.
    Tonight we are in Minneapolis. Tomorrow we go to the biggest shopping mall in the world.     Czytaj więcej

    Today we visited a sculpture park before making a stop to look at the Mississippi River. We visited the mall and spent thrrr hours there. We walked a lot of miles saw a lot of shops but didn't really see anything worth buying. There was a fun park in the middle of the mall with roller coasters and other scarey rides. Czytaj więcej

    Most of today was spent at Yellowstone and we have another day there tomorrow. We have been travelling through a lot of different scenery up and down some very steep winding roads reaching an altitude of over 12000 feet. Temperature around 30 degrees but it is a dry heat and lovely in the evenings. Czytaj więcej

    Salt Lake City

    6 sierpnia 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    Tonight we are in Salt Lake City. We caught the train in from our hotel to look at the Mormon Temple gardens. The gardens are lovely and such a nice place to explore in the early evening when the temperature is still 30 degrees.
    Everything was closed in the city as it is Sunday here, but the city is very clean and has a safe feel to it despite us being asked for money several times at the station. The shops look great but unfortunately we leave at 7:45am tomorrow so no time for shopping.     Czytaj więcej

    Zion National Park

    9 sierpnia 2018, Stany Zjednoczone ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C

    A more relaxing day today with time to explore the park on foot or on the free shuttle buses. We even had time to sit on the wooden rocking chairs at the park lodge and enjoy people watching in the shade. 33 degrees today but not humid so quite pleasant. Czytaj więcej
