So it happened Las Vegas will be on our route. I would never go there freewillingly but tired of heat, dust and dirt and having in perspective a very long drive back to California, we decided to make a stop in this city of the devil and recover. „The luck of the blind” should be […]
It is not possible to see everything without turning this trip into a marathon of ticking boxes on a checklist of places. So we had to revisit our plans, drop Bryce Canyon and go straight to Zion. First impression – awesome. All green, real trees! There are campsites in the national parks which can be […]
We left California behind and by accident ended up on the legendary Route 66. In Arizona we stayed on a campsite in State Park Homolovi, an empty place in the middle of nowhere and a meteor crater over 1 kilometer in diameter. The ruins of Hopi indians’ settlements left us wanting to learn more. They […]
We were not sure if our plan to go camping while in the US will work, so we kept our plans only high level – a loop over the national parks of Arizona, Utah, Nevada and back again to California. Then north along the coast through San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver. With an option to […]
I do not know why but in my mind Joshua Tree was full of green even though I have never been there. The only other association was with U2 hit album so perhaps this is the source – Irish band from green Ireland and Joshua Tree. Green. Huh… It is brutal. It is not as […]
A very long flight with a stopover in Honolulu is behind us. US was never on my bucket list. Even more… I was saying I will never go there as long as there will be visa requirement for us. Nevertheless, when a time came, I submitted my visa application and got a nice sticker in […]
It was the longest stay in one place during our 9 months of travel so far. And for the first time I did not want to leave. We were either climbing nearby mountains or diving (sharks, mantas, turtles and tons of fish) with one break to visit the local cultural center. I was afraid this […]
Long, long time ago, in previous life, so about 2013 I saw a photo on instagram. The photo stayed in my mind and I was hoping to see the place with my own eyes one day. This day was today. Moorea is beautiful, a volcanic island with sharp, green peaks rising suddently from the sea. […]
I remember sitting in one of the travel-themed pubs in Warsaw and listening to a story about volcanoes in Indonesia. Never ever would I though then that the volcanoes will be haunting us in this trip. Just before leaving Poland, Mt Agung on Bali woke up and scared tourists to the point of many airlines […]
Still the US remains the most exotic of countries we visited in this trip. The crisis grows like the level of lava on the nearby island’s volcano and I think I would never come here for holiday from Poland. It keeps raining and I do not want to see anything, even though I am sure […]
