Welcome to Las Vegas, day trip to Death Valley National Park and first night at a hotel

Our roadtrip took the whole night ( 9 hours drive to Vegas) and we arrived at 5 o’clock in the morning at the Las Vegas International Airport where the girls dropped me off. I got my new car at the airport and drove – after one hour sleep – in the car straight to the Death Valley National Park (2 hours drive). I arrived there at 9:30 and figured out what I wanted to see in the park.

My first destination was the Zabriskie Point ( the point where Zabriskie decided to name the national park Death Valley) Smiley mit herausgestreckter Zunge

My next destination was the Golden Canyon it was a long walk till I reached it. In the park was a really dry heat and it was so hard to walk long distances. The sun was burning all my skin and so I decided to skip the 4 mile walk ( it’s not good to go for such a long walk on your own) and did the 2 mile walk to the Red Cathedral.

As I finished my hike I decided to take the Artist Drive through all the colourful mountains. Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund It was worth it. Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund

I totally enjoyed all the different colours in the

 

mountains and learned why they are there. Smiley mit herausgestreckter Zunge

It was a great day today in the National Park  and I returned at 17:00 and checked in at my HOTEL!! Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund It’s the Riviera Hotel directly on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s so huge I almost got lost in the hotel/casino. Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund I will check it out tonight. Tomorrow I will catch up with the Swedish girls again to explore the city and get a new suit. Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund
