Day 8: On to Sin City - Las Vegas!!
travelled via the historic Route 66



deserts of Nevada.. freaking sunny

Mini Egypt - Luxor
this pyramid is really interesting.. the tip of the pyramid has a powerful spotlight that points directly upwards and it is the brightest beam in the world. aeroplanes at flight level has to be directed such as not to be confused by that light
Mini New York 
dinner at Buca di Beppo
the Light Show at Fremont Street

went back to the Strip for some drinks at THEhotel's top floor nightclub called MiX. it has a spectacular view of the vegas strip, even in its toilets! i took the following pics from the toilet cubicle! almost didn't want to come out.. i was like sitting on the toilet bowl while admiring the beautiful views!



wandered around luxor and then headed back to hotel..
Day 10: long long ride to Yosemite Gateway
it was already dinnertime when we reached our hotel



Day 11: Yosemite National Park
the bus ride up and down Yosemite was torturous.. it's like the journey to genting, but it's double worse than that. nearly puked but managed to control. nevertheless, it was worth the effort as the scenery are absolutely spectacular!

manxi, one of the few singaporeans on this tour

lovely waterfall

we chose cycling over hiking so that we can cover more ground and have different views of the scenic park
