San Francisco is surely charming, and when you see it from across the tousled waters of the bay or from atop one of its impossible hills, it’s hard to imagine any other American city looking so damn attractive. From all the cities I have been too across America, San Francisco is the one I would favor before them all.
It has row upon row of gorgeous Victorian homes, acres of forested urban parks and long sandy strands offering picture-postcard views of the brick-red Golden Gate Bridge. No wonder I gave me whole four nights in this gorgeous city.

If you ever have to drive from Los Angeles up to San Francisco then surely I can only suggest you to take Highway 1. It’s easy to explain why. The coastline here is an awe-inspiring symphony of nature, and at times Hwy 1 seems to clutch at the cliffs as if in desperation above a ravenous sea.
It took me almost a whole day to get to San Francisco. This is not only of the breathtaking vistas, but also because of the curvy Hwy 1 which winds along the Pacific coast with it’s steep ups and downs.
los angeles
Well, like some friends did forecast. Los Angeles wasn’t a real blast. It just wasn’t the way, they are selling LA in Hollywood movies. I don’t think you are imaging the Walk of Fame, as a place where adult shops and cheap boutiques are queuing along the stars. lol
Los Angeles is huge, real huge! It’s a titanic, sprawling, brawling place – a patchwork of 88 separate towns conspiring to look like a city.

puuuh… that was an trip! Arrived yesterday in Las Vegas (again)! It was just amazing. Haven’t seen such incredible Landscapes since a long time. And I gained a new appreciation for rock :)
I’m so glad I can sleep tonight in a normal bed :) Well, there is a slight difference to a tent. And if u are camping you don’t have always the luxury of a shower available.
I was in some really awesome National Parks. Especially the drive on Highway 12 was just far-out!

Yeahaaa! I did it! Landed yesterday in Vegas! Going to start my road trip from here!
Fun city?! Sin City?! Whatever! Vegas is awesome! I don’t need to know more ;)
Las Vegas, a surreal appariation rising out of barren desert sands, at first glance Las Vegas appears a shimmering mirage, a figment of your imagination. An alternate universe, where the globe’s most famous sights – ancient Egypt’s pyramids, Paris’s Eiffel Tower, the canals of Venice – tumble together, bathed in an ethereal neon glow.
