Solvang … a little slice of heaven
It’s weird how you don’t realize you miss things untill they appear right in front of you. When we drove over the hills from Santa Barbara into Solvang on one of our detours that is exactly what I thought. There, in the middle of California, a tiny piece of Denmark – my father’s native land [...]

Los Angeles … Moving Right Along
I could say a lot of things about Los Angeles, but I’m going to go with my mother’s advice here: “If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all”.

Retiring old treads
Considering we’ll be driving more than 14,000 km in the next month and that in that drive we’re likely to hit every driving condition imaginable I figured it might be time to get a new set of tires on our Prius. Which turned out to be an excellent idea: Inspecting the existing tires proved that [...]

Getting the crew together, Part 1
What is a great roadtrip without great people to enjoy it with? When Angela and I started planning our curcumnavigation of our neighbour to the south, the United States of America, Angela’s sister Anny was in the middle of her own month-long roadtrip around Queensland, Australia. Luckily it turned out her trip was coming to [...]
