San Francisco, nice to see you again

Business brought me to San Francisco again, after 11 years. Glad to see that nothing has changed. Just kidding. First of all, impressive international terminal, they’ve really done a good job. Hats off to the selection of merchants (good chocolate, good coffee!) and the fantastic Polaris lounge. What a pleasant experience! 🙂 Also, extremely efficient…

Operation Mountain Garlic

Today’s our last day on Mt Rainier, we’re heading back to Vancouver tomorrow. But what a beautiful day it is. Not a cloud in the sky, perfect mountain weather for a serious hike. ☺ Our lovely host made us some fresh juice before we took off, apples, carrots, lots of ginger, and lots of garlic.…

Tobruk

Portland, I meant Portland, tobruk is just an anagram, right? So, we had a fabulous time in pdx. Great food, nice people. Our favorite hike was to twisted falls in the Columbia River gorge. It’s crowded on the first two miles but empties out afterwards. And you can just knock people off the path and…

Portland, rock city?

I really like Portland, Oregon. But I keep wondering – having seen for guys with led zeppelin t-shirts in the last two days, what is going on here? Some new disgusting hipster feature that has not been revealed in Europe yet? Two of those guys were really young, too, like early twenties. Je ne comprends…

Hawaii, a résumé. part III (fin)

Last stop: Kauai. Took me a while to wrap this up since, funny enough, I can no longer use blogger in chrome. Embarassing that google is unable to make their own browser run their own blogging platform. Time to move to a different service I guess. Google has started to suck anyway, after enduring a…

Hawai’i, a rĂ©sumĂ©, part II

Maui. Yeah. After the big disappointment of Big Island, I didn’t really have high hopes for Maui. But it actually turned out to be a little bit better than the Big Island. A lot of the same problems apply though: Most of the nice beaches are ruined, the US has raped the land and built…

Ich war in Hawaii dabei!

Ach ja – Hr. Kohl ist wieder so generös mit den 4-Buchstaben-Wörtern.So richtig furchtbar war es meistens nicht – irgendein SchĂ€tzchen hat sich meist gefunden.Treefrogs sind klitzeklein und ĂŒbel laut – aber eigentlich angenehmes HintergrundgerĂ€usch. Berlin kann das schlimmer!Vom 4WD hĂ€ngt nicht der Erfolg des Urlaubs ab, aber es ist einfach geil, einen zu haben.…

Hawai’i, a rĂ©sumĂ©

Well, well, well. Looking back with a couple of days distance I must say that Hawai’i was underwhelming. It was nice, no doubt about that, bur I certainly won’t be going there again and I think there are better places with less hassle and rules and regulations in the world. But anyway, let’s try to…
