#60 Grand Canyon

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
