US WEST COAST

Hey....we finally found a place where we can write a blog message...somehow there are not many internet Cafes in the US...

So, we made our way to the US West Coast. We landed roughly 2.5 weeks ago in LA where we didn't stay too long. Instead, we drove down to San Diego to enjoy Sun and Sea World...fantastic..the killer whales are awesome...and create a big splash :-)...we were soaked...

From San Diego we made our way through the back country of California (Palm Springs) to Arizona (Lake Havasu and Williams) where we saw the Grand Canyon...amazing as well...on the way there we had to change 2 TYRES....damm...I hope we get a refund from the rental company because the tyres were already damaged when we left LA....anyway...big hassle...

 

Then we hit fabulous Las Vegas...and lost a lot of money :-)...I just can't get my hands of these bloody machines :-)...and tables...but besides losing money we also saw two Cirque du Soleil shows...spectacular...one of them was "O" where the stage is pretty much a giant pool and the artists are jumping into water...amazing...the second show was Chris Angel...quite a popular magician...he is like the new Copperfield...great stuff...

 

From Las Vegas we crossed the Nevada Desert and the Death Valley. We woke up the next day in Winter Wonderland, with roughly 20 cm of fresh snow...:-)...was cool though since we had a car we just kept cruising in our summer clothes till we hit warmer San Francisco Weather...

San Fran is an amazing city...very cultured...we loved it...we had a famous Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl...similar to a bunny chow in Durban...good stuff...even though Mich didn't like it that much...:-)...the cable cars are also legendary, winding and cranking themselves through the city...San Fran is definitely a must see in California...

Now we are heading south again towards LA...where we will fly out on the 13th to Florida...

Pictures follow...unfortunately no connection here...
