"Hey You Guys !" After Seattle and a quick stop off at Mount St Helens, the volcano in Washington State that erupted about 25 years ago, we headed down the Pacific Coast Highway through Oregon to reach California. On the way through Oregon we couldn't resist stopping off in Astoria to take a sneaky pic of the Goonies house, the actual house used in the film. The house is sectioned off with a private driveway and no number on the door. Think they are sick o...

"I see dead people". Well we did today, four of them to be precise. As we were in Seattle we decided to pay our respects to four legends, the first was to visit Kurt Cobain's house. After about three hours of driving back and forth across the same bridge we worked out that in the US they call different streets the same name but add a sneaky little E or W at the end of the name for East and West. This confused us for the whole morning, but eventually...

So we're on Vancouver Island now and have been for the last couple of days. Forgot to mention last time that we had just left by far the most spectacular scenery we've seen yet, which was at Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. After leaving Canmore nearby and embarking on another 600 mile drive, we stopped off at Lake Louise in Banff National Park, which is named after Queen Victoria's fourth daughter. The scenery is stunning (which you'll see soon from th...

All a bit gross there's more meat than a Dymond barbeque ( i know we didn't think it was possible either). Well we spent 3 days in a small town outside Banff called Canmore, we actually stayed above a pub tha...

AMERICA IS BIG! We didn't realise quite how big until we got off the plane and had to drive 600 miles to our first destination! Took us about 8 hours after 2 flights already that day, and had a near tornado miss along the way....we reckon it was about 50 miles away and they move at 70mph, so glad we had our brown trousers on. First stop was Badlands, South Dakota after flying to Minneapolis via Chicago. Badlands is basically a lunar landscape on the...
