Back from San Diego

Finally! After nearly five long weeks the travel season started for me... with my first trip of the year to San Diego. This city was for ages on my road map not only because of its astonishing sea views but because of beaches, sun, surfing, Sea World, and much more!


Actually one of the nicest parts of San Diego is the Balboa Park... why did I have to think of Rocky all the time? Well... it doesn't matter. This park houses the San Diego Zoo which is one of the most famous Zoos in the US but also lots of different museums like the automotive or the aircraft museum. Most of them in this Spanish style ornate buildings.




A little detail I learned about one of the famous landmarks of the city, the San Diego - Coronado Bay Bridge while doing my harbor cruise: its long bent shape is due to some state fonds which were only available for bridges over 2.1 miles... which it is now with this characteristic bent. It is great to know that where ever you go in the world politics are more-less the same everywhere ;-)
