My Vacation - Volume 1
In the last week of July 2011 I went on a huge vacation to 5 nationals parks in the USA. They included Zion, Bryce, Arches, Monument Valley & The Grand Canyon. I travelled with 35 other tourists aboard a sleeper tour bus over a 10 day adventure. We rode together, camped together, slept together on the bus and hiked through the most amazing natural wonders in the USA. I still correspond with them as there were 8 nationalities aboard with guests ranging from 19-72 years of age. Here are just a few of the memorable photos from that trip.
San Francisco, California - The Departure Point
The Golden Gate Bridge
The San Francisco Bay Area Bridge in early morning
The Tourist Boats docked before the day began
The Ferry Building with clock tower along the Embarcadero business strip that was destroyed during the earthquake of 1989.
The Green Tortoise Hostel where we met up with the Green Tortoise Tour Bus
