Vacation III: South Washington Coast to the California Redwoods

Next section of our vacation, driving and camping along the southern Washington and Oregon coast line. We learned about Louis and Clarke, saw great beaches and noisy off-road vehicle and of course massive trees, see for yourself:


 Driftwood as further up north.

 Kids pretend to be a rock band, they call themself: 'Die wilden Jungs'. No idea where they got that from.

 Stylish riding down the coast.

 A nice climbing tree right next to our tent.

 Kids stay up till sunset, regularly.

 and run in evening light until they get tired - very tired!

 No, not palm trees, trees with few branches.


 The beach is just a huge playground.



 Oregon dunes, beuatiful! But unfortunately full of noisy off-road vehicles. Thus we just drove past them to get to the Redwood National Park.

 America! (and a very tasty bakery/cafe)

 Experiments with long exposures at the southern tip of Oregon.

 Redwoods are massive, we all look like tiny dwarfs!

 Can you spot Theda, Jonte and Katrin in this image?

 Theda is standing o the same log as I am, while taking this picture.

And of course, since it is hot in California, we do need ice cream in the car!
