Na de midweek Jervis Bay zijn we op vrijdagnamiddag nog even langs het Opera House en de Harbour Bridge gegaan. Ludo kon toch moeilijk vertrekken zonder die gezien te hebben, toch?

Travel tips, tricks and holiday stories
Yosemite NP
Yosemite National Park is an incredibly gigonormous park, which makes one think it won’t be crowded. Unfortunately most of the 3+ million yearly visitors stay around Yosemite Village down in the canyon, which turns it into a busy Disneyland. This is a huge contrast with the parks we stayed in earlier! To be honest, this park was the least interesting of all the ones we visited before, but of course we haven’t visited the remote places at all.
Three times Yosemite Valley with some interesting fauna in the foreground.
El Capitan (1200 meters high, ideal for rock climbing, very impressive)
Local deer with baby.
Lovely girl with camera.
Sequoia & Kings Canyon NP
Sequoia, where tall trees live, together with plenty of black bears…
Some sequoias are so huge you can drive a car on top of them.
Or squeeze through this fallen mastodont.
Yup they’re really really big (or Ilse is really really small, ha!)
General Sherman, the heaviest (in volume) standing sequoia.
Camping still goes great!
Bear box in the background to store all your food. It is is illegal to keep food in the car, because the black bears will break in and ruin your vehicle (and it is bad for their health too)!
Om nom nom delicious woodfire barbie pancakes!
