Los Angeles At the pool party in Las Vegas we had spoken to a guy from LA and although he was busy away working he let us park Suzanne outside his house, which was right next to Venice Beach, which was awesome! This seems to happen to us a lot, people are so generous and want to help us out on our trip, it's very humbling. We were still a bit delicate after the madness of Vegas so we decided to spend the day sunbathing at Venice Beach. It didn't feel too hot as...

Las Vegas We decided to find another couch surfer for our short time in Las Vegas as we could do with the inside knowledge of the best places to go with only 2 days there. It was definitely the right decision, although the guy was slightly strange, i think there was a cultural difference in terms of sense of humour, he was originally from Iraq although he had lived all around the world so maybe he was just weird. Either way he was nice enough. As he was a local ...

We drove along the road surrounded by trees and suddenly there was a break in the trees and we nearly drove off the road! The Grand Canyon was right there and it was absolutely breathe taking. We found a campsite and got one of the last spots, as we had the rest of the day left we headed...

Salt Lake City Salt Lake City really did not live up to our expectations. TO be honest we didn't see much of the city as we just slept in a Walmart and decided to head to the Grand Canyon via the great salt lake to see what all the fuss was about. We had read in Lonely Planet that the lake was so salty that you could easily float in it, similarly to the Dead Sea. We thought that sounded like a lot of fun so headed over. When we got there we were met by an unimag...

Yellowstone National Park If we thought we saw a lot of wildlife in the Rocky Mountain National Park we had another thing coming! Within about 5 minutes of being in Yellowstone we saw a bison stood about 3 metres off the road side. Everyone was slowing down to get a look and a photo, they are enormous animals! From this distance you could see all it's matted fur hanging off a bit like dread locks. Their heads are huge, even for such a big animal their head seeme...
