This trip took me to Sweden for the first time and specifically to Stockholm. I had absolutely no desire to go into the city center and look at stores, so I went to a park-like island or peninsula right in the city.

A business trip almost brought me to the Atlantic Ocean in France. On the way back to Germany I was recommended to stop in Laon. Laon is a quite old city that sits on the only mountain of the whole area. So I drove there times past and made a small walk through the city.
A visit of Vancouver/Canada in 2022
Almost directly after the previous intensive tour through the west of the USA, it was now back to the North American continent to Canada. This time it went to Vancouver, a city I had already visited once in 2010, so today in 2022 over ten years ago. Here, too, spring had arrived and there was some opportunity to walk through the area.
2022 USA – V19 – Hiking In Phoenix
We were supposed to spend the morning in Phoenix at the Desert Botanical Garden. However, these rip-off artists wanted some outrageous price as entrance fee, whereupon we laughed at them and left again. We decided to do a short hike in the desert itself. After three weeks in the USA we slowly got used to the lifestyle and especially in the heat of Phoenix to the big drinking vessels from the gas station. I had the morning already two sugar-free colas behind me and was then on the way to give me the third on the hike. The heat was really quite strong and really should not be neglected.

After Death Valley we wanted to go on to Utah. But like so many, we also wanted to make a short detour to Las Vegas. We had actually planned to spend a night there, but finally decided against it in the city and drove on later. The reason was that Las Vegas is quite a party town and our lives now no longer allow such parties after we had that in the end decades excessively behind us.

This was one of the last days of our 2022 trip to the western U.S. I wanted to end the day with a little tour of the neighborhood, so I grabbed my camera and went exploring around the hotel.

In the USA there is really probably the worst price/performance ratio for hotel rooms. Even in 2015, you could get a hotel room for $40, which could be quite unpleasant. On this trip, that could be over $100. I can only recommend everyone to be prepared for terrible hotel rooms for prices below 200$. I would say under 200$ you get as good as no European conditions for the quality. This video gives an example of a ~70$ room in Phoenix where you had to worry about the neighborhood.
