Stradling the border from East California to Western Nevada is Death Valley. Reputed to have recorded the second highest temperature on Earth ever. (not sure if that little piece of info has been beaten in recent years, what with global warming) Anyway as we drove thru' it, it definately was not that hot, the wind that had followed us all around was still with us making feel decidedly chilly some of the time but then it was only April. As we drove through, the rock formations were forever changing shape and colour and had to be seen to be believed, at [View Full Entry]

We stayed in a real American motel - got the room cheap as the receptionist could go home early after renting out this last one. One king size bed - three guys - shit. Enough male bonding for one lifetime has already happened on this slightly crazy road trip. In the morning after an uneventful night, we made our way to the Hoover Dam - its big impressive etc etc. Las Vegas is one of the most excessive places I have ever been, we parked the cruiser at Bellagios - the biggest, first, most expensive casino/hotel of them all.

Welcome to Las Vegas, the most interesting city I have been to in the US of A. It's true! Las Vegas is the disneyland for adults. It is the Entertainment Capital of the World. I truly enjoyed the sights; though, ofcourse, I am against prostitution and gambling. Walking the Las Vegas strip was a lot of fun. I like the colorful lights, the extravagant effects on outdoor shows at the hotels, and the varied themes in each and every hotel in the strip. I was lucky to enjoy Las Vegas twice! I remember stopping over Las Vegas, on my trip [View Full Entry]

Ok, I admit it, I was caught by the hype of making the turn of the millennium one to remember. No fear of the Y2K bug, no fear of lunatics sending a missile into a crowd in a high profile location. SO, Vegas here we come! Cruising into the Strip for the first time is a mighty experience, even for an experienced traveler like myself. The eyes are all over the place, there is so much to see, everywhere you look. The insanely grand hotels/casinos, all of them a theme park in themselves, leave a lasting impression for the first-timer. Appears [View Full Entry]

A car ride in the desert is about as exciting as it sounds. Even the four hour ride between Los Angeles and Las Vegas would be a rather dull transport, had circumstances been ordinary. However, the occasion is a bit special. Six friends in a party mood, travelling in a big white rental car to celebrate Y2K in Vegas. The ride is some four hours, meaning that random pit stops are a must. One takes place right after having crossed the border to Nevada. Stretching the legs, taking a leak, getting a drink, or what have you. And, looking up. The [View Full Entry]
