An adventure through the states
After an amazingly scenic day yesterday we were looking forward to seeing what else Oregon has to offer, which as it’s turns out is a lot 
We had an exciting trip planned to a place called Cannon Beach. Cannon Beach is in the top north-west corner of Oregon, and after a three and a …
This has been one of my favourite days on this trip, not only were we lucky and pleasantly surprised, but we encountered views that simply do not have words to describe them! Lakes all around! Starting back at this morning, we headed out from Red Bluff, continuing the drive through Northern California. This part of …
Today’s journey led us from Jamestown on the east side of California towards the North. Hoping to reach Oregon in the next few days we settled in for the night after driving for 223 miles at a town called Red Bluff. The drive once again was spectacular, California has a certain pastel coloured beauty, which …
Feeling sad about our failed attempt at doing anything yesterday we headed on towards the golden gate park. Hoping that having a nice stroll in the fresh air might reaclimatise us to the new time zone, it’s been really tough to adjust back, even though it’s not that big of a difference. We think it …
Arriving in San Francisco last night was quite something, it was spectacular to see the city lit up and we werd looking forward to what we could see in the daytime. After a very measily few hours sleep we woke in quite a rush to check out on time. Now that we are back on …
Today is our last day on this island, it has been a beautiful experience, one that has tested us in ways we never thought imaginable. We are both exceptionally pleased to have completed the mini challenge that we set ourselves, to survive the whole 5 nights in our eco lodge with some interesting house guests. …
We woke to some more of that lovely gentle tropical rain today, much need after being in what feels like a nice warm shell under the cloud cover. It was a little cooler as we headed out but by no means cold, it was finally time to visit the volcano. We’ve been told how awesome …
Today began with unknown opportunity, and a fair dose of tropical rain, whilst it was still pleasantly warm, the weather then cheered up significantly, giving way to a gorgeous day. We were undecided on which of the activities we were going to do today, but after realising one of them would require a three hour …
It was going to be another busy day for us, we were glad of the downtime yesterday. There are so many activities we wish to participate in and so little time, when we get back to the mainland we know we’ll have another load of things to do and so any break we can get …
After a weird incident of waking in what I thought was the middle of the night because it was pitch black outside, I ended up thoroughly confused, I checked the clock and it appeared to be 9.30am. This made no sense whatsoever and I couldn’t work out what was going on so I went back …
This morning began with an eye-watering early 5.30am start after booking everything very late last night; flights, accommodation, car and car parking for the truck. It was all a bit mental, hard to believe that we could be sat here in California and then just fly to Hawaii a few hours later with no real …
Waking in Ventura this morning Ben still wasn’t feeling 100% but at least a little better than yesterday, we’ve been hanging around the area and thinking about flying out to Hawaii from LAX, we’ve not really had the WiFi or the time we’d like to do the research we want, although we have now decided …
