USA West Coast Roadtrip | Preparation and Kick-Off in San Francisco

Touch down in San Francisco and the beginning of our West Coast roadtrip. Excitement, joy and a small childhood dream in me will now become reality. Who wasn’t a fan of The Hills and dreamt of the American lifestyle at high schools? Absolutely guilty. All the more I was happy that I was finally “forced” to my happiness. A spontaneous invitation to get to know San Francisco in autumn was the perfect opportunity to do a West Coast roadtrip afterwards. Finally the invitation of a dear friend, who I know from the Master, to LA and experience a lot American roadtrippin’ . Together with Julia I will be on the road for the next two weeks.

We’re going to take you daily on our trip and of course, there are all stages and recommendations afterwards. For the short time we have planned such a crazy route. Amandine recently said that we won’t be able to do that. They did our route in two weeks – we only have one week after San Francisco. But – Challenge accepted!

Here we are…

WEST COAST ROADTRIP
Preparations

The West Coast Road trip preparations for the USA ran smoothly this time, because we had hardly booked and planned anything. We planned enough time for San Francisco, because all my acquaintances thought the city was great.

I knew that some things had to be done in time for the USA (of course I managed to organize everything again just before it happened).

1. Visa ESTA

A visa, ESTA is of course very important before you start your journey. In the meantime I have been to the USA three times (1x of which I have only landed in Atlanta*), now my fourth time. The last two times I still had my 10-year visa for the USA. I mourn this a little bit, because I would have had the possibility to travel the USA for three months. Meanwhile you have to apply for an ESTA online 72 hours before the trip before entering the USA.* Of course I left this at the last minute and applied 4 days before the trip. I wasn’t very worried that my application would be rejected, but I’m a bit afraid. Something could always be. After two days I checked my status and got the approval faster than expected. Print it out quickly and put a copy in your hand luggage to be on the safe side.

* during my 2nd visit/transit to the USA I had actually forgotten that I was in possession of my 10-year visa and had applied for the ESTA twice. Strangely enough, I was not informed of this until after the return flight. For the transit one really needed a visa. Whether this is still the case, I do not know. The third time I proudly showed my 10-year visa.

2. RENTAL CAR

We also booked the rental car only one week before the trip. We had thought back and forth whether we would take the car from SFO or after the San Francisco stage. In San Francisco itself you don’t need a car. In the end it was almost the same price, because weekly prices are cheaper in the USA. A friend recommended Hot Wire to me, but we decided for Sunny Cars, because I already booked a car there several times and was always satisfied.

  • In particular, you don’t have to worry about extra insurances on site, because they include All-round worry-free protection.

Although I am against the polluting SUVs, we decided to buy a big car. The roads are supposedly not as well built as in Germany. And remember that you spend most of your time in the car.

3. a few SIGHTS

Unfortunately we had booked a bit late, so we had to skip some attractions. For Alcatraz, for example, there are no more tickets for the Night Tour, which was recommended to us. You have to book this a few weeks in advance. Also in Las Vegas there are some shows that have to be booked in time. Maybe we will be lucky on the spot.

Other PREPARATIONS

Of course I immediately collected all blogs and recommendations of my acquaintances. With each trip I create a Google Maps, which you can call up on the way (with Internet connection always very helpful). The map helps me always well to get an overview of a city. We will book hotels spontaneously, except in San Francisco. San Francisco is very popular and I’m always happy to have something planned for the first few days. It’s a better way to get into vacation mode and have one thing less to think about.

The first report on our first stage will follow soon. Above already some impressions of the first days.

I’ll talk to you later!

I wish you a nice day!

Birthday celebrations & three-country kitchen at PAOLO PINKEL

A dinner at Paolo Pinkel in Neukölln was on my list for such a long time now. After so many of my Foodie friends recommended it to me, it was the perfect occasion to celebrate the birthday of my friend Natalie there. Meanwhile we also celebrated Amandine’s birthday there. Funnily enough another friend celebrated her birthday there. As you can see it seems to be a great place for celebrating but also for a casual dinner.

Restaurant in Berlin
PAOLO PINKEL

Paolo Pinkel. The pseudonym known from the Friedmann affair of the lawyer, politician and television presenter Michel Friedmann. Of course In the meantime, Paolo Pinkel‘s restaurant bar concept has become so popular in Berlin that it has already trumped him in the Google search.

You enter the bar via a shimmering neon light and head straight for the big Barthresen. To the left is the restaurant corner with simple dining tables and benches, to the right the bar with some lounge seats. All very “Neukölln” and funky furnished.

FOOD & DRINKS

We already arrived with mixed feelings, as my girlfriend heard from an acquaintance that it was supposedly exaggeratedly expensive. Wait and see and take a picture first. In the afternoon before it was posted in our birthday group that one could pay food only cash and beverages with map. I only understood this when we arrived. The restaurant-concept is that three different kitchens have their own mini-restaurant there. The drinks are settled via the bar.

Peru – China – Cyprus is Three-country cuisine. Since everyone has its own culinary preferences, this is perfect for a birthday. I immediately headed for the Chinese restaurant and ordered a delicious portion of handmade Ran Mian noodles with Sechuan pepper (attention: very hot). The others ordered from the Peruvian as well as from the Cypriot restaurant. The portions can be divided well. But also one portion per head is absolutely sufficient.

    • The prices are between 4-12€

RÉSUMÉ

We had a great evening, and we mumped up at the bar till 3:00. But I recommend you to order wine or beer. The Gin&Tonic has already been served mixed, where I usually choose Gin Tonic and Tonic myself.
Meanwhile I was already there for the second time and found it just as great there. But it’s always worth making a reservation!

Discovering Gotland – the Swedish holiday island in the Baltic Sea

They are everywhere: the incredibly great travel destinations. One of them is definitely the Swedish island of Gotland! The history of the island is very historical and you can already see this when you arrive in the city of Visby – the only city on Gotland and at the same time capital of the province Gotlands län. In addition to its exciting past, Gotland has much more to offer and as a holiday island is in no way inferior to the others! Here you´ll find some nice impressions of our trip to Gotland this summer:

In coperation with Destination Gotland

  • Here you can read about our first Sweden trip to Smaland.

Holidays on the swedish island GOTLAND

Gotland and holidays? Absolutly correct: On Gotland you can indeed spend your holidays very well. The convinced Swedish people can confirm that themselves! Great beaches for relaxing and sunbathing, super beautiful landscapes to enjoy (also perfect as photo locations for bloggers), lots of cultural offers and culinary experiences await explorers, hikers and curious tourists. The island is an attractive tourist destination all year round. However, as many travellers prefer the sunny months, the best time to visit the island is between June and September. In these months with the mild climate sun worshippers certainly get their money’s worth.

VISBY – discover Gotland´s MEDIEVAL CITY

Our journey starts in Visby. Already at the arrival with the ferry in the harbour of the small and pretty city you can hear stunning Ahs and Ohs. From here you can already see parts of the almost complete city wall from the Middle Ages. A walk along the city wall is worthwhile in any case. It is in very good condition and you can even walk up the watchtowers and have a view over the sea on one side and over Visby’s large Botanical Garden on the other. Thanks to the climate, a variety of plants and unusual tree species grow here.

The harbour of Visby

Visby is rich in historical sites. Inside the city there are imposing ruins of church walls. These remind of the attacks and destruction of the town by Danes in the 16th century. The whole history of Gotland can be seen in the Gotland Museum in Visby. Make sure stopping by there!

local fact

Most of Gotland’s churches date from the Middle Ages. The oldest churches are in Stenkyrka, Atlingbo and Fardhem (the first church on Gotland is said to have been built here). At least the predecessor building.)

In the centre of Visby you will find the very imposing ruin of St. Katrin church.

The beautiful Cathedral of the West. From here you can also have a great overview of the whole Visby. Just walk up a few steps and let you surprise by the stunning view!

Use the opportunity and the time to explore Visby by walking around! The peace and quiet in the small alleys of the city is incredibly peaceful and the loving design of the exterior facades is simply delightful. Visby literally smells like roses! No wonder: The city dwellers decorate their houses and fences with countless types of roses in the most beautiful colours, which underlines the flair of the charming city even more.

local fact

On the island of Gotland, about 150 old fishing villages (Gotlänska fiskelägen) still exist today. Eleven of them are listed. By the way, the “Hanseatic City of Visby” with its magnificent medieval buildings has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995!

COSY GLAMPING in Surflogiet Gotland

Oh, yeah, Gotland’s chic. In its own special way. The hip glamping in the SURFLOGIET GOTLAND was at the top of our itinerary! “Glamping” is a glamorous camping style with many amenities such as a very comfortably equipped tent, washing rooms and other extras that you wouldn’t expect from camping in the open air. For example, sleeping on beds worth several thousand of euros or relax in the sauna at the end of the day and admire the Baltic Sea through the glass front of the sauna cottage. Extravagant? Perhaps. But more likely cosy glamorous and in the SURFLOGIET GOTLAND with a stylish bohemean touch. Here you can organize celebrations of any kind. Very popular are weddings. You can sit comfortably and stylishly on the beach during or after your wedding. Gladly with champagne and oysters. Or beer and delicious burgers! We loved it.

You can also have this delicious burger in vegan!

The SURFLOGIET GOTLAND also offers sports activities: Stand-up paddling, surfing, skating, beach volleyball, arranged bike tours – the choice is really exciting! Jogging on the beach or practicing yoga is of course a must do.

Get in touch with STELOR HOTEL – unique hotel design

A little tip for all those who have a preference for small, smart hotel designs: The STELOR Hotel is located less than 30 minutes south of Visby. A converted farmer property to fall in love with. The atmosphere here is so incredibly clean, homelike and wonderful that you’d love to move in here. The hotel offers seven unique rooms to sleep in, a great restaurant with bar and garden, where really delicious dishes are served! Many things are cultivated in the hotel’s own garden. The rest is bought by the owners from local producers. Just to please the palate, it is worth staying or stopping at the STELOR Hotel! Despite the few rooms the hotel offers, the property is large enough to be able to retreat to the hotel garden undisturbed at any time. A truly small paradise to come down. From here you can reach the beach in 20 minutes on foot. If you want to go faster, you can rent e-bikes at the hotel and explore the area.

Where to go to EAT in VISBY – some tips

  • BAKFICKAN: Modern, international, but also typical local and island specialities can be found everywhere on the Swedish island of Gotland. The typical dishes of the island are prepared with a lot of fish and seafood. And they taste excellent! A really good tip in the middle of Visby is the small but really fine restaurant BAKFICKAN. The interior is super inviting, free places are in great demand and the owner of the shop is an incredibly cordial person. A real sightseeing hot spot is right next door: the impressive ruins of St. Katrin’s Church.
  • VINÄGER: Another popular meeting place of the city is VINÄGER. A stylish restaurant with bar and beautiful terrace where great events take place in summer. Not only the cuisine surprises with Mediterranean specialities and special creations – the interior really gives the guest the feeling of being somewhere on the Mediterranean area. Pure holiday feeling!
  • Beer fans watch out: In the middle of Visby you will find the beer brewery Gotlands Bryggery! Here you can take part in a small guided tour through the brewery and taste delicious beers.
DID YOU KNOW?

Some grape varieties are cultivated – and very successfully – on Gotland. This is why the wine-growing regions here are among the most northerly in Europe. Nothing stands in the way of a small but fine wine tour, is there?

How to reach GOTLAND?

The island can be reached quickly by plane via Stockholm, the Swedish capital. But those who want to go by sea can choose to take the ferry to Gotland. It is highly recommended to explore the island of Gotland by car. Most places are small and can be explored quickly. With your own or at best rented car you are flexible and can easily get to know the whole island! For short excursions please rent bicycles e.g. at Cykeluthyring! Let´s go!

This beautiful flowers are called Blue Fire. You can find them everywhere on Gotland.

I wish you a wonderful day!

Schillerkiez love | GORDON Restaurant & Records with love from Tel Aviv

Schillerkiez love. I’m sorry I have to say this now – it’s getting colder. Summer is over. It was there, it was very beautiful. After such an eventful summer I’m always looking forward to the colder season. To come down and enjoy staying in cafés and restaurants. And that’s exactly what you can do so well in hip Schillerkiez in Neukölln. Unfortunately, this is no longer on my way home from my old place under Tempelhof. But it will be the highest railway again, that I will go there again.

Together with Nadine I was invited for a cosy evening to the GORDON restaurant & records. The concept of record shop and restaurant sounds interesting for the first time.

Modern middle eastern kitchen
GORDON

The owners Nir and Doron brought their love of music from their hometown of Tel Aviv, where they became famous through a DJ rooftop series on Gordon Street. They brought not only their 2007 founded record label Legotek from Isreal to Berlin, but also modern interpretations of their beloved local cuisine. For their “GORDON” they didn’t choose a more comfortable place in the hip Schillerkiez. The restaurant was furnished and designed by them. Accordingly, a lot of heart and soul was put into the restaurant, which is worth seeing. It doesn’t get boring here, the best time to visit her is a Friday DJ session.

GORDON
FOOD & DRINKS

Together with Nadine we tried the Gordon Tasting Menu. Our hunger was not too big, so we shared only one tasting menu. I drank a delicious cocktail called “Green Peace” consisting of gin, chartreuse, cucumber, coriander, parsley and more. The bartender was so nice that at the end he wrote me a little note with the cocktail recipe.

  • Very recommended is the All You Can Eat Brunch for 9,90€ (food only) or 15€ together with drinks and dessert.

RÉSUMÉ

We found the ambience very beautiful and cozy. The service was super friendly. Unfortunately I don’t know if they still offer the tasting menu. I found the variations creative, but also not quite cheap.
During the week it was pleasant, but well attended. A visit to brunch is now definitely on the list.

360° REGENERATION at the Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites

The power place in nature for more lightness and energy…

www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites

Fresh air, green meadows and a view of the mountains – these are the first impressions you get when you arrive at the parking lot of Hotel Pfösl. Can’t get enough of it. And this scent of willow, meadow flowers and herbs is a real pleasure after an intensive working day. I use the last rays of sunshine in the late afternoon for a quick exploratory walk. The weather forecasts for the coming days are unfortunately bad. But this should not interrupt my stay, but instead of “still fast” I should try a “slow and relaxed” from now on.

FLAGSHIP for holistic regeneration

www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites

… and mental balance as a tailwind for body and soul with the workshops of Franz Mühlbauer, the well-known mental and regeneration trainer and the SOLEMON balance concept developed by him. This four-star superior house has made the restoration of physical and mental powers and the experience of nature for all the senses its heart’s desire, with many special offers.

I am very much looking forward to my time with Franz Mühlbauer. Expert on the subject of regeneration for over 30 years, bestselling author and lecturer at the University of Graz, gives lectures and conducts management seminars on strategic regeneration management throughout Europe. Among other things, he worked for the Austrian national ski team and German Bundesliga footballers. In top-class sport it is mainly a matter of further, higher and faster, completely counter-productive for our well-being I let myself be taught. It is all about positive impulses, deep relaxation and recharging one’s batteries at all levels.

SOLEMON-Balance-Workshop
“The inside shower”

www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites

We start the day early in the morning on the terrace with light breathing exercises and a view of the mountains. It is still very quiet on this lightly overcast day in light drizzle.

www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the DolomitesThe warm vegetable infusion is a blessing for my empty stomach and tastes very good.

Today, everything revolves around “the inner shower”, the regeneration of the metabolism through appropriate nutrition, gentle exercise and meditation with relaxing sounds, an interplay of information and samples for body and mind as an introduction to the morning before breakfast.

www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the DolomitesSolemon-Balance Breakfast with tasty basic selection www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the Dolomites www.thegoldenbun.com | Vitalpina Hotel Pfösl in the DolomitesLunch break with Basic soup and warm vital drink as “Antipasto”

Strengthened by the tempting lunch buffet – of course I pay strict attention to basic dishes, I follow Franz Mühlbauer again and his interesting experience reports and his tips for the improvement of health and quality of life. The daily restoration of used powers and energies is achievable through targeted personal as well as strategic regeneration management as a declared goal, as well as an essential necessity for it. The SOLEMON teaching provides the know how and the associated building consciousness dynamics for schools and universities, in professional and working life, from top athletes to stressful people, young or mature, regeneration affects our entire life cycle.

After this exciting journey through the varied program and the possibilities, Franz Mühlbauer introduces me to Lu Jong, the thousands of years old Tibetan healing yoga. The soft meadow floor in front of the house replaces the usual yoga mats for the final exercises.
