Legacy Suites Bakersfield

... Tree hat einen Durchmess** von 12m, da könnte man fast drinnen wohnen.

Nachdem wir den Riesenbaum hint** uns gelassen hatten, sind wir auf uns**em weit**en Weg am Morro Rock Aussichtpunkt vorbei gekommen. Das ist glaube ich ein** d** höchsten Punkte in d** S**ria Nevada. Wir haben den steilen, zum Teil echt beängstigenden hohen Aufstieg natürlich in Kauf genommen (ich in meinen neuen Sandalen-das war heute ein Griff daneben) und die Aussicht, die ...

... in Merced to gas up at Costco where the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Warm sunshine with a cool breeze--idyllic really.

We made it to the Bakersfield Hampton Inn and went for a swim before dinner, then brought in pizza and watched one of our Inspector Lewis DVDs. Nice day.

... we are now four days away from hitting the road. Ending destination is Mount Rushmore, SD.

Yes, there is a little unrest inside of us. Will we really make it that far? Will we survive as a family? Flashbacks of comedy movies such as "RV" come to our minds in the wee hours of the night giving us chills.

We will keep you updated as we go or change our minds before leaving.

... for 89 octane, the mid-range of the 3 unleaded petrol/gas types available), we topped up with $66 to get us out of the Valley and back into civilisation where hopefully the price would be $1 less. And a note for others, I could use my UK credit card to pay at the pump OK, some other places require a Zip code and hence we cannot use, but it was fine here. We passed through Stovepipe Wells and turned off ...

... dad's tripod which is much lighter and just as sturdy. The nice thing about my dad's is that it is smaller and will fit into my carry-on bag. I'd just purchased a new bag for my old tripod and was going to feel very smug carrying a fancy tripod check-in bag and the new camera. Now I'll send it back. Alas I won't be able to fool people into thinking I'm a professional photographer.

... En souvenirshop uden lige. Der var alt i retro gear. Elvis radioer, Betty boop merchandise, Harley gear, ja alt hvad man kan lave af souvenirshop... Vi fik ike taget nogen billeder, men der findes nogen her..... og her..... Efter denne oplevelse var vi egentlig lidt glade for den bilkø, for hvis ikke den havde været der, ville vi nok aldrig have ...

... to make the city great but they are forgetting that Bakersfield is in the middle of nowhere. Maybe they are hoping that by year 2020 they will be part of LA. I will let you look at the pictures and decide if Bakersfield is as life should be.

... That's the problem with America, it's such a vast country that the smallest distance on the map can in fact involve a long car journey. The way out of Death Valley was one of the more terrifying routes that we have faced so far, up and down a windy mountain road where they didn't believe in putting a crash barrier between your car and a drop of hundreds of feet. I think it was probably a good job that Lynne was asleep for a lot of the descent, as my driving tends to make her nervous at ...

... that it was the same one that we were running down only 30 days before. We had seen and done a lot since then! Keeping to our taxi rule for the last time we searched out a bus stop that would take us to Venice Beach, our destination for our last nights before we flew to Fiji. I could see why we hated LA the first time we were here, the place was just a dump. The bus was no better with every passenger acting or looking weird ...

... know about it, its so big. You start seeing the city out of the plane window about 30 mins before you touch down; they actually say that LA is 9 cities rolled into one, which is believable when you see it. It was reassuring to see the golden M of Macdonalds glowing on 'nearly' every corner! How many times we will be frequenting that restaurant in the following month is to be seen! Customs was a big wake up call. As you can imagine since 9/11 America has some what ...
