Death Valley Sunrise
Not as spectacular as last night, but we set the alarm clock at 5 am for this.
Death Valley
Today we had a long ride from Yosemite to Death Valley. Entering Death Valley we saw the sun come down. I rushed through the valley wanting to arrive at ‘Zabriskie Point’ just before sunset. No stops for nonsense views were permitted by me, just keep on going. And it was meant to be; we arrived…
Huge trees and amazing views in Yosemite
Just got back from Yosemite National Park. What an exhausting but fulfilling day it was. This park is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. The first stop in the park was at Mariposa Grove. Here are the huge Sequoia trees and those things are huge. We did a small hike to the…
San Francisco
Going to Alcatraz, we set the alarm clock early for the 10 am boat tour. Before my visit I didn’t understand what the fuss was all about. It’s just a prison. But when you’re there it’s very real. They also put a lot of thought into the audio tour which was very informative but also…
Cruising across Highway 1

Los Angeles and California Coast

The holiday excitement is starting
Alright, last day of work! My bags are packed and ready to start my journey towards the big West. Tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. I’m flying from Amsterdam to San Diego with a stopover in Washington. Tonight I’ll have to double check everything: passport, tickets, creditcard: Check.. All the other bunch of stuff I want…
SpiderPro System
As my photography is getting more and more serious, I was looking for a decent camera strap for a while now. The standard neck strap that comes with the camera is nice but if you want to carry your camera for a longer period of time this strap can be a pain on the neck…
