Caesar's Palace

We were all terribly jet lagged when we got to our budget hotel, The Mardi Gras, a pretty sleazy casino hotel with the slogan “Just off the strip, right on the money”. The thinking behind this choice of accommodation was that we only needed some place to sleep for the first night after the long flight, nothing fancy. M had a bad case of jet lag and was awake for long periods during the night. Finally, at 5 am we couldn't sleep anymore, and got up. H and I decided to go for a morning walk before breakfast. We passed by a couple of insanely big hotels.





M and I went to the pool after breakfast. It was really nice - being wet is the most pleasant way of dealing with the heat.








After we had checked-out, we transferred to Caesar's Palace. Wow. This place is enormous. And bizarre. It is like a little fake world, which has everything you need. In principle, you would never have to leave as long as you don't run out of cash. Strange. It was fun, though.

In the afternoon we went to the pool. It turned out to be quite a pool party with DJ and scantily clad girls...

A soap bubble blowing, uhm... siren? On an inflatable pegasus? Well who cares what she was exactly... it was fun. She floated around in the pool and was passed around by people.


M had a blast...


...and so did H.





Dancing to the music.



DJ and dancers.


Enormous pool area.


The scarred war dog (as M calls me) and P.


The shopping street within the hotel complex with a fake sky which follows the natural light level outside - there are even restaurants with "outdoor" seating... Some times you almost forget that you are not actually outside in some weird, perfect pseudo world.

On the road

Image
We have seen a lot of these heat haze effects on our trip. Hiroko managed to catch this one with the camera. Some times it looked like the road actually disappeared as the sky was mirrored on the road in the horizon. Technically, it is a mirage caused by the hot asphalt (or tarmac) heating the air over it so that light rays are bent such that a mirror image forms under the actually object. Ice cream at a diner on Route 66 Buying buffalo jerky at an Indian road side shop close to Grand Canyon. It was really good! In Arizona, P started to notice that the clouds had a red tinge. As most of the rocks and sand is red in Arizona, we thought it fitting that the clouds would also be pink-bellied. We speculated that it could be reflection of the ground or caused by red dust. Researching it a bit, I found that it may be caused by an optical effect called iridecence.

Munich - Las Vegas: Condor

Image
We got up at 4.15 am to get to Munich airport super early. I had been unable to check-in online on Condor’s homepage. “You need to obtain a valid visa. Please consult the ESTA home page,” the error message had said. For all four of us. With significant unease, I had called the Condor hotline to inquire what to do. As far as I could see, the ESTAs we had obtained were valid and the data had been entered correctly. Oh, horror! What if we wouldn’t be allowed on the plane the next morning? (Quick mental calculation of the money wasted...) “Due to high demand, the expected waiting time is more than 15 minutes,” had the computer voice from Condor’s hotline informed. So I had waited, and waited and… after about 20 minutes a grumpy employee confirmed that there was indeed a problem with our ESTAs, but there was nothing she could do, she had no data access. We would just have to turn up at the check-in counter the next morning, and try to solve it. So, we were Schrodingers cat until the next d

Zion National Park

Image
On our way from Parowan to Las Vegas, we realized that we had enough time to visit Zion. This was due to the fact that we woke up really early (M and I), and that our destination, Vegas, was one hour behind Utah time. We drove up the canyon Only when you compare to roads and vehicles, you realize the enormity of the canyon At our first stop, we wandered off the beaten track and found a dried-out river bed. It ran trough a little canyon, which provided some climbing opportunity for us. It was in the shade and the ground was sandy - a natural "crash pad". "Our" canyon On our way back out of the canyon, we decided to make a stop at a popular trail head leading to an overlook of the canyon. There isn't much space along the road in Zion, and the park is popular, so it wasn't so easy, but we were lucky to find a little pocket for our car at the side of the road.  On the trail up to the overlook.  The hike wa
