Steffi in NZ

Well - I didn’t really have the feeling of beeing welcome here after three security checks at the airport in Nadi and after the guy at the customs ask me three times, what I’m doing here…

After my flight from Nadi to LA I catched the bus up to San Francisco - 9h flight, 8h waiting in the Greyhound Station, 9h bus ride - after 2 days of traveling I finally made it to San Fran - yeah!

I stayed in a Hostel at Fisherman’s Wharf - a nice area with views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge. Alcatraz was pretty interesting! I went Downtown by cable car - must do in San Francisco and was wondering around at Fisherman’s Wharf. That’s all I could do in three days, but it was cool though (only the fact that three people got shot next to hostel wasn’t really cool and there are a lots of homeless people in the states and they all ask u for money)

From San Fran I took the bus back to LA - this time during the day and it took me about 1h from the Greyhound Station in Hollywood to the hostel in Santa Monica - more weird people and more homeless people asking for money…
Santa Monica is a also a nice area, but I only had one day to ‘explore’, so I went with an aussie girl to the Getty museum and to the Hollywood Blvd. The museum is really awesome, Hollywood Bvld really crappy and there are more homeless people… It’s hard to see all the homeless people on one site and all the posh houses in Beverly Hills on the other site - well that’s the states - the gap is just massive!

2morrow I’m finally on my way back to Germany, will fly out at 4pm - and thanks Mr Bin Laden - I have to check in at 1pm. I’ll be back on German ground at 5.30 pm on Tuesday- isn’t that confusing - the whole time I was 12 hours before Germany, now I’m 9hours behind and in 36hours I’ll be in your time again…

Well I’m not looking forward sitting in the plane again for another 10h, but I’m looking forward seeing my family and friends again and go riding - Pow Pow!

Catch ya later!
