Today Jennifer and I went to downtown Denver, which was mainly one big shopping street. We went out shopping for Jen and hang out in downtown the rest of the day. What was really nice was that on the main street they placed many old piano’s. Seventeen pianos to be exact. They are all painted really nice, but have an awful sound. That didn’t stop my of playing them and so wasn’t the fact that I can’t play at all. Read the rest of this entry »
An American friend of mine who lived in Amsterdam always bragged about how beautiful Colorado is. Most of the time I just replied with “yeah, sure” or something like that, simply because I didn’t know. After today I have to admit that it’s really beautiful indeed. Almost as beautiful as montana. 😉 Read the rest of this entry »
Haha, I’m wondering what you all would be thinking after reading today’s headline. Well, I can say that it was an exciting day today. It started early in the morning when I woke up in a freezing cold car. Seriously, there was ice on the windows. Read the rest of this entry »
I started the day by driving around in the village just out of the park, in search of wifi to update the blog and check my e-mail. I ended up in a cosy bookstore-cafe, something I really wish we had back home too. I spend my morning there with a nice big cappuccino and my laptop. Just before noon I started driving again back to Yellowstone. A perfect timing, because the sun was about to break through the grey sky. Read the rest of this entry »
I think it was about ten minutes driving from the place I stayed for the night to the west gate of Yellowstone National Park, so I entered the park quite early in the morning. The weather was cleared up again and everything was absolutely beautiful. Only after a couple of miles I saw a lot of cars parked next to the road. I stopped too, wondering what all those people were doing there. I soon found out why: about 100 meters away there was a big elk laying in the grass. Read the rest of this entry »
When I woke up this morning I saw even better how beautiful this area is, because it was already dark when I arrived in Missoula last night. I went downtown to see more of the town and to have breakfast. After I had walked through the centre called ‘Heart of Missoula’ and had breakfast there, I opened my e-mail and got some very good news. My travel insurance e-mailed me back with the message that they will cover the loss of my tripod! Read the rest of this entry »
This morning I said goodbye to Dawn and Debbies mom, but not before she gave me enough food, drinks and snacks for the next months. I now know that D&D don’t got their generosity from a stranger. 😉 Happy with a lot of food and drinks for a long time I hit the road again in the direction of Missoula, Montana.

In the morning I went downtown to Joseph again to spend some time in one of the local restaurants with wifi. I got in touch with some friends and family again and did the necessary e-mails. The restaurants here look really American as you know it from the movies. Besides getting in touch with people I also already took a look at the map again, because tomorrow I’ll continue my roadtrip in the direction of Montana. Read the rest of this entry »
This morning I went back to the stables where I was yesterday. I asked if it was possible to do a four hours ride and the owner of the stables replied by asking me if I maybe had more time today. Of course I had and then she told me I could do a day-trip without having to pay extra for it. That was a nice surprise! My guide of today was a girl that was a few years older than me and was just as excited about the ride of today as I was. Read the rest of this entry »
After a week of living in the back of my car, the cabin felt like a nice hotel. I had a good sleep in the wooden house and after breakfast I drove through the small town. Joseph in Oregon is a small, cosy town with mainly one street. On my way to Joseph I crossed some stables and asked for information and maybe I go for another horseback ride one of these days. I went tot a local restaurant with internet to get connected with the rest of the world again. Read the rest of this entry »
