Day 371 - 10 Hours in Bergen


After a nice flight with Norwegian Airlines, I arrived in Bergen early in the morning.

The first thing you will notice when approaching Bergen is the landscape which looks great. Since I had 10 hours to spare till my onward flight to Edinburgh, I took the bus into town.

Day 369 - NYC Downtown Architecture


After posting a lot of people photos the past days I thought a small change would be good for today's post.


Wednesday 27 August 2014

Day 368 - Just NY People


One of my favorite places in Manhattan is the High Line, a great park and great use of the old elevated rail tracks, more cities should do this and use the old industrial remnants like this.

Day 367 - Different Sides of New York


You never know what you come across when you walk around in New York, even snow in August. In order to come across something new, I decided to go to Brighton Beach and Coney Island today.

After doing some more photography and enjoying a nice brunch in Boston, it was time to hop on the bus and head to New York.

Another nice and sunny day in Boston although it being Sunday there seemed to be less people around, especially around the downtown area.

It was a nice day in Boston and after having coffee and finding a place I could afford to stay, I went for a walk.

Day 363 - A Day in DC


After taking the train in the morning, I arrived in Washington DC where I could spend the day. I booked the overnight train to Boston since it allowed me to save on a night in a hotel and would also get me there earlier.

Day 362 - People in Philly


After sorting my train ticket for Boston, I headed to Old City Coffee to meet well known local street photographer Michael Penn for coffee at his local hangout.


Wednesday 20 August 2014

Day 361 - The Way to Philly


I woke up to a foggy landscape but it made for some interesting views. The train was as suspected still running late but managed to make up a bit of time and thanks to the more developed network here it was only 1h late now instead of 2h.

Day 360 - New Orleans to Philadelphia


It was another early start to catch the 7:00 train to Philadelphia, it was also another long journey since the train will only arrive in Philadelphia tomorrow around noon.

Day 359 - People in New Orleans


I spent the whole day walking around Downtown, Canal Street and the French Quarter and taking photos, it was great fun and I got a lot of photos.

Day 358 - The City of New Orleans


My train left quite early in the morning from Memphis to New Orleans but it was on time and meant it would get into New Orleans by 15:30.


Saturday 16 August 2014

Day 357 - Memphis


After a night of freezing in the Amtrak refrigerator car from Chicago, I finally made it to Memphis just after sunrise and it was good to be out of the train.


Friday 15 August 2014

Day 356 - Chicago


When you look at some of my photos from the past weeks, it looks like I spent it all at the beach. Well, Chicago has it's own beaches and you are forgiven to think you are by the sea given how big the lake really is.

Day 355 - 106 Miles to Chicago


Ok, the title of the post is a quote from Blues Brothers and I am sure it was a bit more than 106 miles to Chicago when I woke up in the train this morning.


Wednesday 13 August 2014

Day 354 - People in Denver


Since I had an extra day in Denver and I already managed to see the main sights on my first visit and also yesterday, I used the day to focus on the people around downtown.


Tuesday 12 August 2014

Day 353 - Denver


The first thing to do after having breakfast was going to Union Station and check for my train ticket to Chicago and see when they had one available.


Monday 11 August 2014

Day 352 - Salt Lake City to Denver


I had to get up early to catch the train but since I had a hunch that it would be running late, I could sleep in a bit longer than expected.


Sunday 10 August 2014

Day 351 - Salt Lake City


After a pretty comfortable night in the train I arrived in Salt Lake City, 3 hours delayed but happy because it meant instead of arriving at around 3 in the morning, it was now 6:30 so a much better time.


Saturday 9 August 2014

Day 350 - The California Zephyr to Salt Lake City


Today, marked the start of my final leg of the round the world trip and it's a journey across the US by train.
I will be taking the Amtrak trains from the west coast to the east coast and stopping off in some bigger cities on the way.

Day 349 - Berkeley


After arriving in Oakland this morning, I figured, I head to Berkeley and look for accommodation first before heading to San Francisco.

Day 348 - An Extra Day in Honolulu


Since I didn't plan on being here another day, I thought I take it easy and just chill, walk around a bit without doing much.


Wednesday 6 August 2014

Day 347 - Pearl Harbor


My 'last' day in Honolulu was spent taking some more photos on the beach but I'll save you from that in this post. Instead it's about my rip to the Pearl Harbor museum.


Tuesday 5 August 2014

Day 346 - Honolulu Beaches


After spending time around downtown yesterday, it was about the beaches today. I also thought of ging to the op of Diamond Head but was too lazy in the end.

Day 345 - The Longest Day Part 2: Honolulu


Here I was, around 28h after I left Busan at Honolulu airport and it was still Monday the 4th August and not even midday.


Day 345 - The Longest Day Part 1: Busan to Seoul to Osaka


When I woke up this morning, I knew it would be a long day. I had to go to Busan station, take the KTX train to Seoul, the plane from there to Osaka and from there to Honolulu just before midnight.


Sunday 3 August 2014

Day 344 - Haeundae and Gijiang


My last full day in Busan started with a lot of clouds, wind and some rain but it was not surprising after the typhoon yesterday.

Day 342 - Surfing and Evening Stroll


Although I had planned to go for an overnight trip to Jinju today, I decided to go surfing with my friend here since it would be the last opportunity before leaving Busan on Monday.
