The drive up to Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park was amazing. The roads were lined with pine tree forest to one side and stunning mountain ranges to the other, and on one occasion we had to stop to let a couple of Mute Deer cross the road.

After three nights in San Francisco its time to say good bye to the golden city for a few weeks and head inland to Yosemite and start our road trip. Our stay at the Hotel Zephyr has been a good one.

Ive been married now for 19 years and known my wife for a good few years over that. One of the first things i learned about her back in 1991 was how intrigued by Alcatraz Prison she was.

Our first full day in San Francisco was spent walking up some very steep hills ! It doesn’t matter which way you head in San Francisco it would appear you’ll be heading upwards at some point.

24 hours of travel and we finally touch down in San Francisco

We travelled Route 66 in August 2015 and these are some of the tips i would give to anybody who wanted to travel the Mother Road

Six weeks and counting till we head stateside for our next big road trip and this time we will be California dreaming as we set out on a 1200 mile round route of the Golden State.

Ive finally got round to editing a few more videos from the hours and hours of footage i took whilst driving Route 66 last summer.

Its taken a few months but i have finally started to upload the many hours of video we took and the thousands of photographs

A refreshing nights sleep and a nice, but expensive, breakfast in the hotel left us raring to go exploring what delights Las Vegas had to offer.

The road took in lots of rocky desert, small towns and rail road depots before aligning itself with the Colorado river and heading into Needles California.

Seligman has really embraced its route 66 history and is packed full of antique and souvenir shops, diners and motels. its also home to the Guardian Angel of Route 66, Angel Delgadillo
