4th of July is the Independence Day of the United States. Drove up north for 4hrs from Arizona to Las Vegas on tht day. Weather of more than 40 degree can kill me man! Super super hot here during summer time and its like living in the desert here. I can really feel my skin burning under the scorching hot sun and it's like putting ur hand in an oven, trust me. Haha.. Don't be shock if I look more tanned when u see mi back in Singapore. :z
Shopping spree was disappointing.. too freaking crowded with lots of tourist coz it's a holiday on tht day plus the summer sales.. it's like madness so didn't really shop at the factory outlets :( Still prefer tht time when we went with mummy, at least I can still feel as thou the whole shop is ours. Haha.. Tht time was plainly buying mine & mummy stuff.. This time was all bf's! Only got myself a abercrombie tee! Next shopping spree again will be when we head back to LA and tht would be the last alrdy. :( I'm hell broke man! Too many things to buy, but too little moolah. Wait till I got back my $800 from Kaplan! :D
Passby Hoover Dam again while otw to Vegas!
Celebrating Independence Day!
Fireworks everywhere.. yeah~ I mean EVERYWHERE!
(Didn't took pic w the fireworks coz we were stucked in the traffic jam!)
Okay, this is wad i called.. shopping spree!
MADNESS.. teehee!
3rd time in Vegas with love.
Went up 109 floor to our hotel tower to have a 360 view of vegas!
went both in the afternoon and at nite.
(should have went up here to watch the fireworks!)
We chose Grand Canyon over San Fran. At 1st I don't really like GC.. coz in my mind I was like "go GC for wad? only get to see rocks. What's so nice about it?". Hehe.. plus I dun really like camping (coz it's dirty!) But after I've been there, I never regretted it.. but instead, I wanna go there again! It's more than just rocks. I was truly amaze by the scenery, the colour of the rocks changes according to the light and shadow. It's 1 of the seven natural wonders of the world. Interesting uh.. Wanna know more? Read how Grand Canyon was formed millions years ago here.
Grand Canyon @ 7,000 ft!
(woohooo~ Hot in the day, cold at nite..)
Nicely set-up within 1 hr.
(applause to dear! haha.. *clap clap*)
watching the beautiful sunset with love on 1st day!
watching the beautiful sunset with love on 1st day!(goosebumps when I looked down the canyon!)
we set-up fire at nite to keep ourselves warm.
It's less than 10 degree at nite.
(my 1st time setting up campfire! awww, love it!)
We hiked the Canyon!
we hiked down the bright angel trail for 1 1/2 miles and back for 5hrs.
It was freaking tired but awesome!
Going down seem easy, but coming up is a challenge!
(in love with the Canyon!)
watch sunset again on the last nite.
Once the sun set, there were be no lights on the road.
So we can only depend on our headlights
to help us get back to our campsite.
and we have to cook our dinner with the tochlight! :)
And as the nights turned dark, watching the star-filled sky is the most romantic moment in the canyon.. :) (still didn't get to see shooting stars!)
Lastly, a lame conversation with bf..
Me: Y aren't we not going uphill. I tot Grand Canyon is very high up? (I tot it was like Genting..)
Bf: I'm climbing the hill while u were slping!
HAHA! okay, I doze off during the 4hrs journey frm vegas to canyon coz I was too tired, my bad! But not the whole 4 hrs la, but just nice when he's climbing the mountain! hehe.. Initially I thought that Grand Canyon is like Genting.. where we have to go round and round the mountains before we get there. But I was wrong... coz Genting is way so much smaller den this. :/ tht's y it's called the "Grand" Canyon..
and this is how Grand Canyon looks like..
and u see tht green colour pasture on the south?
tht's where we went.. and we are just a little small dot..
fyi, it takes like 3 to 4 days to hiked from the South rim to the North rim.
(aww.. this is really wonders!)
I freaking wanna go there again!!
