Today we spent the whole day at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Seems like the holiday is over. There were only about ten minutes line in average for each ride. It was hot today but not unbearably hot.
After that we went to a Best Buy in Burbanks for some electronics shopping.
We went to Universal City Walk to have dinner at Bubba Gumps. It was real cold this night.
After dinner we saw Drive with Ryan Gosling at the City Walk cinema. It was good.
Yesterday morning we had a big fat breakfast at IHOP. After that we went to the International UFO Museum in Roswell to be enlightened. I believe now. Do you believe?
We left Roswell for Santa Fe after the museum. The weather in Santa Fe was colder than all the other places we had visited so far. It rained a little on our way in. Santa Fe is a very small town with some touristy shops. Shortly after check-in we drove downtown and walked around. We went inside a beautiful church.
As it was early still we went to a cinema in town to watch Moneyball with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. The theatre was big and the movie was OK. We were back at the hotel after 10 PM. We had to go to bed early as we had to take a 14 hours' drive back to Los Angeles today.
We got up at 5.45 in the morning today and left Santa Fe at 7. We took a detour along our way to see the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest national park.
We're back in LA now. A little bit tired after a long day's driving.
We left Lordsburg this morning for the White Sands National Monument. Magnificent views of white sand dunes everywhere.
We continued to Roswell after the national park and arrived at around 17.30. Almost all shops were closed in town at that time this Monday! We went into some souvenir shops where they sold alien stuff - even alien meat. ;-) You all know that an alien aircraft crash landed near Roswell 1947, don't you?
With nothing more to do we went to a Walmart and then to a cinema to see Contagion after supper at Applebee's.
Yesterday we visited Biosphere 2. The facility where scientists were locked in for 2 years to study biology etc...
Then we drove to Tombstone - the western town where Wyatt Earp and other roamed.
We left Sedona today for Phoenix. We drove out from Sedona and then back again via a very beautiful scenic route - Arizona's most beautiful route according to many travel guides.
Before leaving Sedona we visited the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Out of Sedona we took a detour to see the Montezuma Castle national monument.
We drove along the scenic mountain roads through Jerome and Prescott before coming to our destination in Phoenix at around 10 PM.
We left LA at 10 o'clock today. The plan was to drive 8 hrs to Sedona, Arizona. I was the first driver. Marie took over after our stop at Oatman.
We made a small detour to Oatman, an old mine town that was used at several film sets. We had some near burros experiences there.
We're staying outside Sedona tonight. Came in after 19. Dinner was free because they failed to make my salmon. First it was half-cooked so they had to make me a new one. Then they forgot to take off the strings from the second one. The waitress was embarrassed and felt so bad about it so she took care of our dinner. We tipped her 20 dollar. After all it wasn't her fault.
Yesterday we went to Camarillo Premium Outlets for some shopping. It wasn't ass good as the New York one. I could only find some shirts.
We went to the Cirque de Soleil show Iris yesterday at the Kodak Theatre - the same theatre where the Oscar's is the held every year nowadays. I guess the show was OK. I mean, how would I know. I slept at times...
Leaving LA today for our eastbound roadtrip.
C U!
Well... My flight from Copenhagen was 7.55 which meant I had to take the 4.51 bus from Stefan's. Everything went smoothly except when I at Heathrow went to get my boarding card. In order to get that every passenger had to be "interviewed" with a couple of questions for security reasons. I got two or three questions in different variations regarding who had packed my baggage. Crazy! And by the way. Terminal 3 is still my all-time favourite terminal. NOT! Low ceiling, crowded, hot... Here is where the cattle travels... ;-)
The American Airlines flight to LAX was cold. Brrrr... And they served pizza with a lot of cheese as meal before landing. How american...
I had to wait for Johan, Marie and Linus at LAX for two hours as planned. The lady at Alamo gave us a standard sized SUV if we gave her a free dinner, which we did. We had to. Otherwise our four luggages won't fit in our booked mid-size SUV
Britt and Jeff took us to dinner tonight...
That's about what happened today. Later...
