  • Visit to the San Diego Zoo

    April 20, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    After spending an hour at the parking lot trying to find a place to park, we finally managed to get into the San Diego Zoo. What a big place! We walked around most of the areas but definitely missed some parts too. A very sweet day overall. Lot to see, including our first Okapi! The Aerial Tram was a highlight, too!Read more

  • Through the desert to Nevada

    April 21, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    From Salton Sea, we moved on through the desert to Las Vegas. We stopped in the middle of nowhere, along the Box Canyon Road. The air was hot and there was barely any wind. It was basically completely silent with no other cars around. A very special atmosphere.Read more

  • Hoover Dam

    April 22, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Next on our trip, we spent two nights in Vegas. The day between those two stays, we got the chance to visit Hoover Dam. What a massive thing!!

  • Grand Canyon West

    April 22, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    After visiting Hoover Dam, we realized, we still had half a day left, so we continued driving until we reached Grand Canyon West. What a view! We also went onto the skywalk, but taking pictures was only possible for extra money, so we didn't do that. After we spent some hours at the Canyon, we headed back to our Las Vegas Motel.Read more

  • A day in the Mountains

    April 24, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    After returning from the desert back to the LA Area, we really needed some variety. So we decided to drive into the mountains and explore a random hiking path at the side of the road.

  • Arcade Place in LA

    April 25, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    We used this day to relax and restore some energy, so there's not much to share. In the evening we went into LA again though to check out an arcade place, that was neat.

  • Six Flags Magic Mountain

    April 26, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Back into the action. We took some busses from Glendale and visited the Six Flags Magic Mountain Rollercoaster Park. This is a heaven - or hell, depending on how much you enjoy rollercoasters. We basically spent the full day here, and were unable to try all of the rollercoasters there. Absolutely insane. It was great!Read more

  • Getty Art Museum

    April 27, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Not the last day of our trip but the last one with actual content. We visited the Getty Art Museum! A sweet and relaxing way to finish of this big adventure.
    At the end of the day, we went to a Korean BBQ place.

    The next day was the last full day of our trip and we went to our favorite burger place once more! The burger place is "The Counter" next to the Tar Pits in LA.
