So much to do, so little time!


We drove from Las vegas to Los Angeles a few days ago and it took about 4 hours, and I just want to say that Las vegas was awesome the best thing that we have done in our roadtrip. Now i'm sitting in an internet cafe and writting the things we have done and will do here in Los Angeles. The first day we came to Los Angeles we where very tired because we had drived for over 4 hours so we just got something to eat at subway then we went to sleep in our car because we will not spend our money for a hotel because we are going to spend a lot of money here in Los Angeles.

The next morning we went up early and the wether was awesome the sun was shining and we decided to go to venicebeach. We walked along the beach and it was very beautiful and the wather was clear blue so we decided to take a swim, it was really nice and refreshing.

The next day we wanted to do something fun and craze so we visit univesal studios and that was extremely fun, it feelt like you where a kid again. But it was very expensive and it was totally worth it. We where there for several hours we could not get enough, so when we got back to our sleeping spot (our car) we sleept like babys for hours. When we woke up that afternoon we decided to go to a bar and just get something to drink and talk about our trip so far and that was fun to talk about everything we have done, this trip will be a memory for life. Now i'm sitting in this internet cafe and planing what we are going to do this last few days and I have come up with some ideas. Think that we must go and see the the walk of  it seems interesting and a thing we just must  do.                                                       
Then I think we must visit the third street promenade because we both love go and shopping and we need a little bit of exercise because we drive everywhere and the last night here we are going to dance hard, we will explore the nightlife here in Los Angeles and it is going to be magnificent. But now i'm running out of time, write to you soon. Bye my friends ;) // Michelle

We came to Las Vegas in the morning. The first thing we did was to go to hoover dam that took 45 minutes by car. We stayed there to two o'clock. It was really awesome to see because you've never seen something like that before. After that we went back to the city but we took a stop to eat something at mcdonalds because it was fast and easy. Then we went to our hotel to check in, where we would stay for four nights. Once we had checked in we went up and put our stuff in the room then we went down and looked around in the hotel. Then we went swimming in one of hotelets pools. It was a very large hotel and I dont think I have ever lived in such a nice and great hotel for as cheap as it was. But the only reason that you get to stay there so cheap is because they want people to spend their money on the casino instead.

The other three nights we slept at the hotel, we did nothing special, we just lay by the pool. Then we were in town and checked out the city. I must say that it was very cool to be out in the city of Las Vegas at night, it is truly a city that never sleeps. It was big flashing signs everywhere and it was light on almost every building. After we had checked out on the fifth day, we went around town during the day and it was not the same atmosphere at night but it was still okay. We did nothing special this day except we went to check out the Paris, Las Vegas hotel and a casino at day and night time. In the center of the place where the hotel/casino was, it was a half-scale replica of the Eiffel Tower, two thirds copy of the Arc de Triomphe, the hotel that recall architecture interfere Paris Opera House and the Louvre. It was so cool and amazing, I love it.

The last two days we went out to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Where we were biking the first day and it was very hard because there were many uphills and very rocky. But it was fun and we exercise at the same time so it was good, especially after all meals at mcdonalds. The next day we went out and walked instead so we could see a bit more of the countryside and take stops to take pictures. We slept in the car these two days and then continue on to Los Angeles. There have been seven very fun days here in Las Vegas and we got a very mixed environment.
