San Francisco Sightseeing 2

The two highlights of today were driving with one of the famous cable cars and walking on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Alcatraz Island

Today I checked out the Alcatraz prison. Walking through the ailes and seeing all the cells was really intimidating and it's hard to imagine how hard it was to be a prisoner.
Half Dome Hike, Yosemite National Park

It took me about 8 hours of hiking straight up to get to the top of Half Dome. The last part was the most scary one where you walk up almost vertically just in between two steel cables. This isRead more
Half Dome Village

Tonight I'm going to stay in a nice tent cabin. It's located inside of the Yosemite National Park at the Half Dome Village ⛺️
Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park

The next day I drove to the Glacier Point where you can see the Half Dome from the other side. It was also very nice to see a different angle of the edge where I posed the day before 😁
Santa Cruz

After a five hour drive I arrived in Santa Cruz.
Monterey Bay Aquarium

I spent the morning in the Monterey Bay Aquarium which was very facinating and the cool thing about this place is that they teach you a lot about all the different species 👍
Point Lobos State Reserve

They say it's "the greatest meeting of land and water on the world". So I went on a morning hike and I covered almost the whole reserve and I can say they're right 😁
Bixby Canyon Bridge

The Bixby Canyon Bridge is one of the most photographed features on the west coast. A perfect spot the give my new gadget a little test run 😁
McWay Waterfall

My absolute favorite on was the beach at the McWay Waterfall.
The beautiful beaches of Big Sur

Driving down the Highway 1 from Monterey to Big Sur is like stopping every three minutes for another breathtaking cliff, outlook our amazing beach.
Whale watching at Monterey Bay

This morning I went on a whale watching tour. The Monterey Bay is very well known to have lots of whale and dolphins. And that's what I saw plenty 😍 after almost half an hour the where whales andRead more
Morro Bay

Just a relaxing day in a small town called Morro Bay. The main thing here is the huge Morro Rock and a lot of fisherman's. Oh and a local beer brewery 🍺
Santa Monica Pier

About three weeks ago I was drove a small part on the historic Route 66. Today I'm standing on the Santa Monica Pier at the end of the trail 😊
OUE Skyspace and Slide

Today I started my sightseeing trip going down a slide made out of glass outside of the building at about 305 meters 😁 oh yes and the view was also pretty great 😁
Hollywood

One thing you can't miss while you're in LA is the Hollywood Walk of Fame and of course the famous Hollywood sign.
Venice Beach

Walking along the Venice Beach is such a great experience. You see a lot of street artists, surfers, people training at the famous muscle beach and you always have the smell of weed in your nose 😁
Airbnb, San Diego

After about 4500 km of driving down the west coast I just arrived at my Airbnb which is also my last stop on my US road trip down the west coast.
Beautiful and sunny San Diego 🌴
Ford Mustang

...and what would be a US road trip without driving a real american car 😎
Goodby San Diego

I really enjoyed the last days in San Diego. Just relaxing at the pool, taking some surf lessons and eating great mexican food. But now it's time to head back. Next stop: Denver
Layover at Denver Airport

I'm back in Denver where it all started. Unbelievable that two month are already over and I'm flying back to Munich 😁
Home sweet home

Two month ago I started an amazing trip exploring several parts of America. I drove about 9500km by car, visited seven states and saw so many beautiful places. I'm really thankful that I was able toRead more
