[29/06/2024 – 06/11/2024[ Four months have passed since we left the Americas for home. It took a while but it is high time to write the recap about our time in North America. Especially with all the things going on over there right now. Things like cutting the National Park Service. But before we get into that let´s talk about border crossings. Border Crossings: Of all the borders we have crossed in the past the one from Mexico to the…
[09/10/2024 – 16/10/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT Not too much to say about our last week. Two things: Wednesday: Toronto Today was the first time in a long time where we indulged into sightseeing by walking. And what can i say, Toronto did not disappoint. Cities with a body of water are always good, but in Canada it seems like these body of water are being incorporated as parks and general recreation areas. Where in some…
[02/10/2024 – 09/10/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT Let’s talk about the U.S. National Parks. Literally the first money we spent was on the “America the beautiful National Park Pass” which costs 80$ and gives you access to all fee areas in the national parks. If you want to camp in. national park additional fees apply, and you do need to reserve a campground. Most of the campgrounds we stayed at only had pit toilets no electricity…
[04/09/2024 – 11/09/2024] Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT Strange thing, every time I write the blog and look at what we did the past week, the first few days seem to be so far away, even though they just happened, and to some extend i have the feeling, that the longer we are on this trip, this feeling becomes stronger every time. On the plus side, back in Whitehorse (a lifetime ago) i have heard a band…
[28/08/2024 – 04/09/2024[ Our last week – Whenever You Read IT It is now nine months of travel time. And it is save to say that both of us are a little tired of the constant unpacking, packing and redoing it all over again. While for the tent it is rather simple, due to the static nature of the packing list. Everything has its place in the bag. For the kitchen (Stefan is taking care of it) the story is…
[21/08/2024 – 28/08/2024] Our last week – Whenever You Read IT While we cut our time in Alaska a little shorter, due to weather, what we have seen was very impressive. I really do like mountainous terrain. When there are glaciers or snow capped mountains, even better. While marveling at the landscape, I could not help but wonder how this looked 20 years ago, and what the landscape will look like 20 years from now. At the first – up…
[14/08/2024 – 21/08/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT So the last thing we did on Tuesday was to put up our tent and have some dinner at the Rock River Campground. Fighting off some Mosquitos, enjoying the sunset, and then turn in for an early night. The next morning started quite early and rather cold with 1°C according to Stefan. Sadly this particular night got him a cold. Obviously his mood was not on an all time…
[07/08/2024 – 14/08/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT Yukon / Klondike / Tombstone -> Names that resonate in my mind. Be it through books I´ve read in my youth or movies I have watched. Am pretty sure though, that the western “Tombstone” was set way down south from the Tombstone we drove through. One day before passing the arctic circle we had 29°C and honestly it was pretty warm weather since we have left Vancouver. Thinking about…
[31/07/2024 – 07/08/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT The first impression Canada left was one of rain and open minded people, which left us wondering how Canada would present itself the further we move up north. After having a quick chat with BC ferries, they said that there is a high possibility that the ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert would take us aboard even if we did not reserve a spot, but after a quick…
[24/07/2024 – 31/07/2024[ Our Last Week – Whenever You Read IT With the usual cursing Stefan managed to convince Amazon to deliver him a new pair of shoes to a Amazon lock box in Portland, which then led me to have him add a new (aftermarket) license plate holder to his order. The order was placed back in Redding and it is now time to collect it. Portland is a nice city however for the size of it restaurants and…
