Sooo onwards and upwards to vegas baby!!! Unfortunately as whatever happens in vegas stays in vegas i cant discuss it on here.
Only joking i cant help but keep talking about Vegas cos so far its my favorite city ever with Edinburgh a very close second:p. so id previously been here for 2 weeks so thought id pretty much covered everything, how very wrong i was i decided on 3 lovely nights here with the only aim being to go to freemont street as i'd never managed to go there last time as we thought we were gonna get kidknapped but anyway so nowt spectaculor about the journey that i can remember barring sharing the bus with a recently released prisoner who seemed soo happy with every cigarette he had in the out doors very cute. Anyway arrived in the greyhound station just outside freemont street soo as it was night and we thought we were gonna die last time i got myself a taxi and it transpired that my hostel wasnt too far away bonus!
Arrived at my hostel about 2am snuck quietly into my room and went straight to bed altho knowing what vegas is like i needed to make friends or i was gonna be bored so i made sure i got up for breakfast. Got up made some pancakes and plonked myself next to a pleasent looking lady and this is how our conversation went...
Me 'hey how you doing?'
Stranger 'yeah im good thanks'
Me 'sooo what you doing today?'
Stranger 'in going to the grand canyon you?'
Me 'oooh u goin with one of those tours?'
Stranger 'no were driving weve rented a car'
Me 'oooh really can i come ill pay half the petrol?'
Stranger 'yeah sure ill have to tell my friend who im travelling with but yeah sure'
Me 'mint thanks!!! Oh yeah im amanda nice to meet you!'
Stranger 'im Arlene and my mates called george lets go!'
Best way to may friends ever!!
Soo there we went driving away passing a sign that said 'prison close do not pick up hitch hikers' legendary!
Nehow we stopped about an hour in at hoover dam which was well a dam and set off again on our merry way to grand canyon, ill just point out at this point that we thought it would be free if we drove there we arrived and realised very quickley that it wasnt free and we were gonna have to pay 40 odd dollars to the indians or sunmin to go see there canyon what a s***! So the canyon was mighty windy and being above a massive mile deep hole is not fun when its windy the trip consisted of Arlene doing things like hanging over the edge wind and all and me and george screaming histericaly :p
We had a long drive home and i mean long every road in america is just straight like hundreds and hundreds of miles of straight ahead biggest cause of car crashes is people falling asleep not suprising, Arlene and George diddnt fa asleep so it was all good :)
So we got back to the hostel and decided that on the evening we would head to freemont street....ladies and gentlemen go there!!! The light shows were amazing theres loads of cool live music theres a hotel where you can get your photo taken with a million dollars, the biggest golden nugget in the world and theres a swimming pool in one of the hotels with a slide that goes through a shark tank f***in epic! I wanna stay there next time :p we tottled off home in the dark and were safe as its not as scary as i remembered last time and out hostel wasnt tok far away bonus!!! Onto day 2, one of the most epic days on my whole trip just because it was absoloutly hilleriously fun!!! Vegas baby!!!!
