It’s still Anzac Day here in the US, and it’s the last day of our trip. We’re flying home from LAX tonight and have a few hours to spend/waste/use fruitfully until we take the rental car back to its ‘home’ and check in at the airport. The day after we saw Jersey Boys [...]
Just 3 words for today Jersey Boys – wow! Quality Las Vegas Food
We are staying for 3 days in Las Vegas, in a place we have stayed at before, the Jockey Club on the strip. When we stayed here six years ago, it was a couple of buildings with a huge carpark around it, next to the Bellagio Casino. The Jockey Club in 2007 [...] Salt Lake city is a nice looking city. There are mountains (currently covered in snow) both West and East of the city. Even in the centre of capitalism there are no houses built on the mountains, so its a great view. We went into the city centre to view the Morman temples in Temple [...] We stayed in West Yellowstone, just outside of the park. The town is almost completely closed. Even the hotel we stayed in with a few other guests was being renovated around us. It was very cold in the morning -8C, with a thick layer of ice on the windscreen of the car that we [...] Geysers. Steam. Bison. Mule Deer. No grizzly bears, thank goodness. Cold. 6 different kinds of snow. Hot water ponds. Yellowstone Grand Canyon. Old Faithful. If I was clever, I could write a poem. But I’m not, so I’ve just shared a few random words about our day in Yellowstone National Park. It was definitely [...] We arrived too late at the Little Big Horn National Battlefield monument to see it, so we drove 20km further onto Hardin, intending to return the next day. The reason I was so interested in visiting Little Big Horn, the site of Custers last stand, was this game I played as a kid in [...] After deciding that since Yellowstone National park opened for spring on Friday morning, we would detour (2,000km) to Yellowstone National park. After our snow problems getting into Colorado, we were wary of getting caught by snow along the route. The shortest route according to google maps took us through Teton Pass, which according to [...] We spent the day exploring Boulder, then drove back to Denver along the eastern edge of the Rockies. The mountains around Denver and Boulder are spectacular, and the higher peaks are still covered in snow. It’s a very impressive backdrop for residents when they walk out their front door. Boulder is a lovely town. [...] It was a cold morning in Colby Kansas, about 1 C. And it only got colder. We left Colby in rain, that gradually changed to sleet, and then when we crossed the Colorado border, snow. It was difficult driving along the interstate through snow and slush, having semi-trailers pass throwing up loads of water [...] |
