I’m back ! The US trip was awesome ! We saw a lot of things and did a lot of miles.

I’ll give a quick overview of the trip in chronological order:

• The Keys
• Miami Beach (but it rained so that sucked)
• Everglades (with a boat with a giant fan on it, speedy !)
• Lake Okeechobee (just to camp)
• Fort Pierce (aka Fort Boring)
• Cape Canaveral (very awesome visiting the Kennedy Space Center)
• Orlando (Universal Studios)
• Daytona Beach
• Sint Augustine (oldest town in the USA)
• Atlanta (we wanted to go to the Coca Cola museum but didn’t make it due to a flat tire, we did meet up with an old WoW guildie though and went to eat at Medieval Times)
• Blue Ridge Parkway through the Smoky Mountains (rafting, hiking and sightseeing)
• Washington DC (very nice city and we got to see the Space Shuttle Enterprise)
• Gettysburg (civil war stuff)
• New York City (very awesome, we spent a couple of days there)

All in all quite the adventure and we had a lot of fun. It was a bit weird being cooked up with 3 other guys in a small motorhome and occasionally we had some discussions but nothing major The motorhome itself was a bit of a hassle though, we couldn’t properly visit some cities or places because it was too big to park or wasn’t allowed on the road because the turns were too sharp. I personally couldn’t even drive it because of my depth vision problem. If we do it again I’m going to root for a normal car and motels

I’m glad to be back though, 4 weeks is a long time to be away and to sleep in a bad bed in a motorhome. But I’m definitely going back to New York and Cape Canaveral one day, it really was awesome

I uploaded some pictures of the trip here, enjoy ! Note that these are the pictures taken with my regular camera, the ones on my phone are mostly uploaded on Facebook.
