We are tired…yes we are…maybe because we were driving nine hundred kilometers yesterday and had a lack of sleep ’cause of the last days in Vegas have left marks. Especially under my eyes…
But we don’t have time to relax as today is the best day for tide pool watching (has something to do with the moon and the tide – so check it out online before you go…)!
What a long, long day! In the morning we start in sunny Sunnyvale and in the evening we have dinner in rainy Death Valley. In between: nearly ninehundred kilometers roadtrip with our car Carsten…

Matthias wakes up.
“Good morning, my dear,” he says, “could you sleep, or did you suffer from a jet lag?”
I look at him through my swollen eyes: “Well, a little jet lag – I’ve been waking up again and again since 4 am, but I was exhausted enough to fall asleep again and again!”
