Travelogues Nevada

We are tired

Las Vegas hardly needs an introduction - a synthetic city in the middle of the desert that lives off its hotels and casinos. We are more into nature, but we failed to find a...

Last night we ate at Rainforest Café. Michael met up with a friend 😉. We decided to stay in Las Vegas during the day and drive to San Diego in the afternoon. We wanted to swim...

Gelato at the Venetian, Little Venice. Lots of swimming; a 'lazy river' with flowing water, a wave pool, and many more dips! In the evening, we watched the fountain show at...

Great hotels; hotels that are a pyramid, castle, New York. We are staying at the golden one! Lots of pool fun and just enjoying ☀️☀️☀️

...but before that, we took a detour to the Valley of Fire on the way. It's not called that for nothing: the rock formations and colors live up to the name and shine in the most...

Our USA tour started with a three-day stopover in New York before flying to Las Vegas to start our tour of the West Coast of the USA. Our hotel, the Edison in New York, is in a...

Today we went to the mountains. More specifically, to Virginia City, an old gold mining town. We strolled around a bit and had lunch there. A bit of literary history in...

We were driving home from a play museum when Dad and I saw a lot of smoke. Then Dad said, there must be a fire. Later, we all looked out the window and saw the fire. We were all...

In the meantime, we've found ourselves in the real 'desert' (the Canadian one is a triviality in comparison 😉) and, much to Dad's dismay, we need acclimatization time again....

17.09. 24 Today we drive through Shoshone Indian territory again. But we don’t see any! We are moving steadily at almost 2000 m towards Nevada. Passing by Great Falls ...

Las Vegas 1/2

Las Vegas hardly needs an introduction - a synthetic city in the middle of the desert that lives off its hotels and casinos. We are more into nature, but we failed to find a...

Yesterday, alongside a fire alarm (to clarify: we were never in danger), there was plenty of programming scheduled. We went to Carson City and had a great time at the small...

Las Vegas 2/2

So, I'm slowly sobering up and can get in touch with you again. I hope you don't blame me for the long silence, but I'm back in Las Vegas and had to take advantage of the party...

From Los Angeles, we headed to 29 Palms, located about 250 kilometers away, where the landscape transformed into sandy deserts. This area is in close proximity to Joshua Tree...

On the drive to Las Vegas we passed the Hoover Dam, the largest dam in America. We got out briefly and got our first taste of the enormous heat here in Nevada. Afterwards we...

Not really happy about the assigned car at the car rental in Palm Springs and especially the fact that we couldn't fit our suitcases and bags into the "cool, sleek" Ford Mustang...

After a slightly longer break, we have finally found the pen and ink and can upload more entries. The USA is also known as the land of superlatives, and this is by no means...

We were allowed to spend the afternoon/evening with John today. Wow, what a house... The girls enjoyed playing and Mama found a new colleague 😂. And I had another wow...

Robot fights have become a part of the American entertainment industry, much like monster trucks or wrestling. Since the Big Bang Theory, such fights have also gained widespread...

September 19-20, 2024 The car is gone. Fully convinced that we parked on parking level 2, we realize that our car is missing🫣 Thank goodness we check level 3 again, where we...

What a calmness here. The first time since we arrived here, absolute tranquility and slept through until almost 9 o'clock😅 Both of us were a little shocked. Then we had a...

In-N-Out Burger

After 23 years, I saw my host family again. Whether Pat dyed her hair violet just for me, I don't know. But it was lovely to see her and Mike once more. The kids surely had...

Today, entertainment is on the agenda. It is the largest spherical building in the world and features the largest HD screen globally. The exterior cladding called 'Exosphere' is...

Day 3: Valley of Fire and Zion NP If you go to bed early, you wake up early. The heat is getting to us. The camper is too warm and we are awake again at 5:30 a.m. We watch the...

Today there will be a smaller contribution😅 We had breakfast at the hotel and then went to Freemont Street. Jörg worked off his friends-wishes list at Harley Davidson, then we...
