Anche questa mattina sveglia all'alba per raggiungere il prima possibile la Death Valley... il posto merita ma il caldo è veramente insopportabile.

Hello everyone. As I write to you I'm sitting with *bout 10 feet of snow outside....* f*r cry from the hot *nd humid tempertures of down under! D*vid *nd I h*ve just spent 2 of the most be*utiful d*ys of driving I h*ve ever experienced. I h*ve decided th*t the best thing *bout the US of A is the scenery. After speding time in the bright lights o...

We had supper in the pizza parlour across from the motel which was a good experience. After watching the TV series Friday Night Lights about a small town in Texas, Odessa, the pizza parlour was surreal, as if we were in the TV episode! It was great to watch the locals, and it seemed we knew them. We had a motel room that dated back to the 1940's...

And so our road trip begins... We leave the smoggy palm lined steets of glamourville and are soon charging through the arid landscape of Southern California. There's a lot of armed forces based out here, and as we near Death Valley we start seeing jet fighters shooting through the valleys not far above us. Soon after we spot a helicopter circlin...

Long hot drive to Las Vegas through Death Valley, which is all below sea level. After running (slowly) round the sand dunes near Stovepipe Wells we went to the Visitor Centre.

Had another crack at the slot machines (5c a go..yes I know its abit exhuberant) and lost another $20. Gamblings a mugs game anyway. Then a mission to find an inte...

Didn't get to Death Valley 'til about 11pm. There was no moon and we could see the Milky Way brilliantly. Immense, watched satellites and star-gazed for a while. It was in the 90's all night so we knew it was going to be really hot the next day. Because it was so hot we slept on top of the picnic tables in our campsite , there were only another ...

Death Valley... the name in itself strikes terror into your very soul... and as we drove to the edge of the National Park, the drive into the heart of the park slowly became very scary the more we progressed! The landscape is as the name suggests, very very arid, dry and so desolate, this was made even more so by the lack of anything resembling ...

Today there was the big moment to head from Vegas to San Diego....to cross the state again....I was really excited to go thru Death Valley, the desert the US has - and let me tell ya it was just so impressing to pass the sandy landscape...just hard to describe ... better y'all enjoy the pics...but being there made me feel so calm (can you believ...
