I went on a swamp tour in Breaux Bridge and saw some interesting things and then I went to the Bouron street in New Orleans. It is very hot and very humid, the windows on the car condensate on the outside when the A/C is on full. Soon I am off to Alabama and then probably spending the night in Florida.

Yesterday was a very long day, 800 km driving starting at 04:00 to see the sunrise at South rim and then drive to North Rim and back to Williams, puh. Sunrise in Grand Canyon was really great !

Today I am in Albuquerque and have seen historic route 66, this really sucked, was not worth the trouble to go here. Tomorrow I am aiming for Dallas, a long drive but it might work.

Sunset in Grand Canyon was great, tomorrow I will go to South Rim before sunrise and then drive to North Rim and back. Drove from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon via Lake Mead/Hoover dam. The trip so far is nearing 7500 km.

So finaly I am here, found a GPS quickly and with that I found the hotel without any problems. The flights went well, SAS really sucks when it comes to service in Copenhagen and on the flight. Customs and immigration was surprisingly quick.

Right now I am fighting the jetlag, 1.5 hours before breakfast restaurant opens but my body tells me its soon time for dinner.

The car I got was OK, its a brand new Hyundai Sonata with all the buttons needed, my first thought was that I wanted a US car for my US roadtrip but maybe this one will be more economic. Its for sure big enough.

I have added a link to the page with the map to the right corner,

Went out for dinner yesterday (or was it today ?), Seattle seems real nice. Prices seems to be quite high, 20 USD for a burger at a normal resturant.

It’s getting closer, started to pack and made some Google map stuff. I will try to keep this map updated with my current location and the places I have been.
