Next destination after Las Vegas is the famous Grand Canyons!
It was a torturous 6 hrs drive away thus we stopped over at an eatery next to the the highway Route 66
It was Christmas Season and the interiors were soooo pretty
mistletoes, santa hats, socks and colourful lights
and some slightly disturbing animal heads..hope they're fake
famished from the drive, we quickly ordered dinner
ordered mine from the 'lighter' menu but it was greasy nevertheless
what the guys had:
chicken cutlet w mash potato and mushroom gravy
chicken cutlet w hash and some southern/cream-based gravy
With the stomachs well-fed, off we head to our inn for the night!
the inn had such a cozy interior
and the weather is freezing!
there was even snow *_*
Breakfast was at a cafe down the street, recommended by our friendly receptionist
Famous bagel w ham and cheese for yuhua
never tried a bagel before, only read/watch about them on US TV
and salad w turkey ham and mustard for me ^^
Brandan enjoying his hot dog
There were many spots to stop for phototaking
try the antelope canyon or the south entrance to the grand canyons
i heard the scenery is better
I went to the south entrance!
the scenery was breathtaking and looks like a fake backdrop in the photos
the weather was near 0 degree Celsius and I was wrapped in scarf/gloves/socks and all
and the guys decide to...
hot blooded youths.
please take care when going close to the edge!
there's no railings and the free fall won't be fun, trust me
there were tragic incidents of visitors falling off the edge to take photos
this was an exception because there was actually quite a safe area behind
which Kai will fall onto if he really do fall
some tourists walked past and laughed
one Caucasian man even wanted to join them topless but gave up after removing his outer jacket
it was simply too cold!
hahaha love the openness of Westerners
There is a supermarket plus cafe in the tourist information centre area
where we grabbed some food and some raw nuts for me ^^
more hot dog
beef salsa for me! yay! one off my food checklist
beef, tomatoes, celery, onions and beans. skipped the cheese.
And that's it for the famous landmark of USA
Returned to Las Vegas in the evening, looking forward to heading to San Francisco the next day
