Es geht wieder los
Nachdem der Sommer in Deutschland langsam dem Ende entgegen geht und das nasskalte Wetter nicht wirklich einladend ist, ist für uns die …
China entdecken – Eine Reise in Buchform
Wir haben unsere Eindrücke der zurückliegenden China Reise noch einmal Revue passieren lassen und in (Foto-) Buchform zusammengefasst. Das Fotobuch „China entdecken“ ist in gedruckter oder als eBook (auch für das iPad) bei Blurb.de erhältlich.
China 2012 – Reiserückblick in Bildern – Landschaften
Im vorerst letzten Teil der Bilderserie über Chinas, möchte ich ein paar Landschaftsbilder vorstellen, die wir während unserer Reise gemacht haben. Fernab von den touristischen Highlights, Weltkulturerbestätten, Großstädten und Wohnsilos gibt es in China eine beachtenswerte landschaftliche Vielfalt.
Das Highlight unserer Reise waren hier sicher die Tage in Yangshuo, während denen wir eine Flusslandschaft erleben durften, die es so auf der Welt wohl kaum noch einmal gibt.
Travel Map
13 days on the east coast – A summary
Finally I found some time to summarize our holiday trip along the East Cost of the United States and Canada.
Within 13 days, we traveled about 4300 kilometers.
On this journey we passed about 10 US states:
– Connecticut (New Haven)
– Delaware (on the trip from Washington D.C. to New York City)
– Maine ( Bar Harbor, Bangor, Ellsworth, Portland, Rockland, Skowhegan)
– Massachussets (Boston, Hyannis, Peabody, Plymouth, Salem)
– Maryland (on the trip from Washington D.C. to New York City)
– New York (New York City, Niagara Falls)
– Pennsylvania (Gettysburg, Harrisburg)
– Rhode Island (Newport)
– Virginia (Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Jamestown, Richmond, Shenandoah National Park, Williamsburg)
– West Virginia (Harpers Ferry)
Washington
Today was a very rainy day in Washington DC because we have been affected by hurican weather. One could hardly cross the street.
Thus we planned a visit of the Aircraft Museum and spent some time and money in Macy’s.
In the evening weather became better, so we had a chance to walk along the National Mall, enjoying the sunset.
Williamsburg – Washington DC
Williamsburg (historic sites), Jamestown (historic sites), Fredericksburg (Battlefield), Washington DC: Georgetown
Harrisburg – Williamsburg
It was most likely the longest part of our trip, maybe already a little bit too lang as there was almost no time to visit the different places.
Niagara Falls – Harrisburg
Day 10 with a long trip from Niagara Falls via Gettysburg to Harrisburg (some old sides from the civil war)
We are leaving Canada, travelling south. Once we had passed the border there was another opportunity to see the falls from a totally different angle. Even from a longer distance one can still see the falls due to the water spray above the ground.
Toronto – Niagara Falls
We spent our time with a long walk along the waterfront with great views of the falls. In the local IMAX theater we watched the IMAX film „Niagara“, which gives a good views from different angles on the falls.
Ottawa – Toronto
Prescott (historical site), St. Lawrence River
Brockville
1000 Islands Parkway
Toronto: Chinatown, Downtown
Montréal – Ottawa
Had a very relaxing sunday in downtown Ottawa around the Parliament hill. Ottaway is great because of the near river with some waterfalls. This makes it nice to walk along the waterside and enjoy a day or two.
