http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Monday, September 21, 2009. With a quick trip around the gift stores for a few last souvenirs we packed up the car for our last time and left Angelina Jolie’s car park. Our last ride in the faithful Camry today took us to the hotel by LAX. While Fraser took the car for its last ride to the car dealer Sarah and Aaron began the last pack of the luggage into the bags. 3 People – Fraser, Sarah and Aaron. 11,060 Kilometers by car. 2 was the lowest room number. Passed through the ...

Sarah and Frasers adventures: August 2009
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Friday, August 28, 2009. A few other rides later we got to the Maverick. Yet another roller coaster, added to the park in 2007. This proved a bit to much for Fraser's dodgy fruit he had as part of breakfast. With Fraser not well Sarah and Aaron continued on the numerous roller coasters etc. Aaron even found time to go on the old fashioned Carrousel. Definitely worth a visit and puts NZ's Rainbow's End to shame. Ceder Park 67 rides including about 17 roller coasters. We heade...

Sarah and Frasers adventures: Yosemite
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/yosemite.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Saturday, September 12, 2009. Heading further into California we gained in altitude as we entered Yosemite National Park via Tioga Pass at 3031m. With huge granite cliffs, trees, lakes and rivers it is so different from the other national parks we have visited so far. The entrance to the park was just a taste of what was to come. Although the temperature was less than the previous days, it was still hot so a walk in the chilly Tioga Lake was welcoming. Leaving the valley we ...

Sarah and Frasers adventures: San Francisco
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/san-francisco.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Sunday, September 13, 2009. We purchased our three day pass for the public transport and set out to see the city. After seeing the line for the cable car we jumped on a bus and went to Golden Gate Park. We strolled around Stow Lake seeing the swans, turtles and the large central island with the Chinese Provillion on it. The Eureka, a side-wheel ferry originally built in 1890 and used as part of US Highway 101 before the Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. After a long wait in...

Sarah and Frasers adventures: Oakhurst to San Francisco
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/oakhurst-to-san-francisco.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Saturday, September 12, 2009. Oakhurst to San Francisco. Passing back through Yosemite we stopped to see the climbers up El Capitan. Spotting them puts the size of the cliff face into perspective. In the back and beyond before the fruit orchards and wind turbines we spotted a New Zealand flag out side a small store. Continuing on we got a view of San Francisco Bay and the high rise buildings disappearing into the fog. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San Francisco to LA.

Sarah and Frasers adventures: Hollywood to Venice Beach
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/hollywood-to-venice-beach.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Saturday, September 19, 2009. Hollywood to Venice Beach. Out onto the Hollywood Boulevard we wandered up and down the street looking at the stars names that make up the Hollywood walk of Fame. Some well know like Michael Jackson, Kermit the Frog, Brittney Spears to some we no idea of (Sorry can’t name any here as I don’t know who they were in order to remember them). We drove down Rodeo Drive to see the top stores some of which require reservations to enter. Gina and Scott's...

Sarah and Frasers adventures: Yellowstone
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/yellowstone.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Thursday, September 3, 2009. Up at 5:45am again, for yet another drive across the prairies, this time we saw oil pumps and more grass. A stop at Buffalo for a chat with Jim at the Information Centre then up over a scenic pass with rock/mud formations, waterfalls and trees - a bit of greenery. Checked into Thee Bears Lodge and a stroll through West Yellowstone town for tea. Continued the dive through the pine forests and past Yellowstone Lake, the way we came the previous nig...

Sarah and Frasers adventures: Salt Lake City
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/salt-lake-city.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Thursday, September 3, 2009. Packed and waiting for breakfast at 6:30am we had another great breakfast at the Lodge with the way too happy waitress. Starting with the 58km straight, no rise no turns just flat. Then the most slightest of bend then straight for another 23km. After a slight deviation we continued straight and flat before a rise after 9km and a bend 4km later. So one hill and one corner in 84km. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sarah and Frasers adventures: San Diego
http://sandfadventures.blogspot.com/2009/09/san-diego.html
Sarah and Frasers adventures. Saturday, September 19, 2009. Moving on to Sea World we saw the Orca show including the one named Shamu. With the back flips, jumps, splashing the crowd and pushing the trainers around the seven orcas put a great display. Seeing the pod of dolphins been fed by the numerous handlers while couples were separated for training enabled an impromptu show of the dolphins performing back flips etc. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
