Re: Part II

Did you see any ghosts while on the Midway?

No ghosts but there were people onboard that use to work on this ship during the war. You could ask questions and listen to them.

In Sweden we have two lanes (sometimes three but very rare) in US there is like 4-6 lanes and the traffic is faster and traffic jams do happen. The traffic rythm is nothing compared to Sweden. In Sweden it is much slower so it was kinda chock to drive in the US for the first time.
I now understand why Americans love Automatic gearboxes and I can understand why they rather be driving an automatic than a manual.

And I must complain on the roads in US. They are just horrible. They arent smooth, its uneven and bumby.
I perfectly understand why people over there prefer a soft suspension instead of a stiff suspension. Owning a sportcar in US might not be an good idea as a everyday car.

Im very thankful to live in Sweden. Better roads and much smoother and in better shape. Here a car with sportsuspension isnt a problem. I wonder how it would be like driving my babybimmer in US, manual and M-sport suspension. Perhaps not as pleasent as in Sweden.

Part III

From Sea World, Killer whales

Hollywood, where is the glamour? not what I expected and I didnt see any celeberties either.

Beverly Hills, many nice and big houses. Exclusive cars everywhere. I want to live there

I really liked Santa Barbara. Cosy and pleasent visit. I can see myself spending my vacation here during the summer.

On the road again

Highway 1, a very beautiful place and exciting roads

Sealions relaxing and enjoying the sun on the Highway 1

We spent one night on Highway 1 in this cottage before moving on the next day.

Sorry for the delay but here are the rest of the photos from my trip.

Next morning and continue driving on Highway 1

Driving through Napa Valley. The famous wine country. Shame I didnt find Falcon Crest

Back in San Fransisco to stay a few days before going back home to Sweden. Nice view over the Golden Gate bridge.

The famous streets in San Fransisco

Sealions enjoying the sun at Fisherman's Wharf.

Lombard street, extremly curvy road and famous as well.

Taking the boat to the famous Alcatraz.

Inside the prison


The last day. Back to the airport and returning the rental car. Messy car. Two weeks later through California and this is what the car looked like.



------------

I hope you guys enjoyed my photos. As I said before these are just a few photos out of 9 gb photos.
I have videos too, for instance from Seaworld, Lombard street. I dont know when they will be up but better late than never.
