Finally a relaxing day here at Bryce Canyon. We didn’t have any driving to do and all the view points were accessible from the parking areas. We arrived last night to enjoy the sunset over the Amphitheater. This picture I made today of the Natural Bridge.
Our stop today was in Zion National Park. Expecting a desert like park I was surprised of all the beauty and green this park had to offer. Arriving at Zion in the morning we took the shuttle bus to the last stop to hike the riverside walk towards the Narrows. This hike was along the…
Not as spectacular as last night, but we set the alarm clock at 5 am for this.
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…
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…

Yesterday we visited the Los Angeles. We started the day with breakfast at the local Denny’s. Here you get a great breakfast for just $5 each. So every morning we try to find a Denny’s 😀 We started at Hollywood where we walked the famous Walk of Fame. When I asked a guy for directions…
Just arrived in our hotel in LA. I can sleep on a firm or soft pillow tonight. Decisions decisions…
Last weekend our journey to West USA started. My mom and I met at Amsterdam Airport on Saturday at 8 am. We should have a flight to San Diego with a stopover in Washington, but we were scheduled on another plane that had a stop in Houston, Texas instead. Which was better because now we…
