📓📓📓

the hangover au no one asked for (except me, which is why it’s stayed in my head until now)

gabriel, nathalie, audrey, jagged, and penny go to vegas for some event and decide to go to the after party for one drink. just one. that’s it. for some reason, though, everything is a blur after that

the next morning they all wake up in various places, none of which is an actual bed - jagged’s sprawled out in the bathtub, penny’s hunched over against the kitchenette with an open bag of cheetos in her lap, gabriel and nathalie are cuddled-up together under a robe out on one of the balcony loungers wearing nothing but wet underwear, and audrey is… nowhere to be found, actually

that’s fine. she can handle herself

still. it’s an awkward way to start the day, to say the least, and they spend the next few hours desperately trying to piece together the events of the previous night using:

a breaking tmz report titled ‘paris elite arrested after scuffle with statue’,

an angry voicemail from bob roth,

a shitton of unflattering photos on their camera rolls,

a buzzfeed article claiming ‘gabriel agreste and jagged stone enjoy visit to all-male review’, and

a handful of awkward text message exchanges with their children, including evidence that indicates adrien found out he’s acquired a new stepmother overnight after receiving a video from chloe captioned “tacky, utterly tacky” of his father and nathalie exchanging vows in front of an elvis impersonator

(though, the subsequent string of congratulations gifs and confetti messages seem to imply he’s cool with the whole thing)

while gabriel and nathalie lock themselves in the bedroom to argue over having their marriage annulled (she thinks they should, he’s hesitant) penny scrolls through jagged’s bank account to determine the damage one night in vegas can do (hint - a lot) before using the ‘track my iphone’ app to locate audrey

not quite sure where she actually is (police station, the roof, some random chippendale dancers bed have all flitted through my mind at some point or another) but she’s alive and well and horrifically hungover

they all are

anyway. the moral of the story is that what happens in vegas, doesn’t stay in vegas because gabriel and nathalie stay happily married for the rest of their lives, audrey becomes addicted to online slots, penny buys a damaged statue from the bellagio, and jagged adopts the random white tiger they find prowling around the bedroom

The Best Woodfired Pizza in Sydney

Woodfired pizza is a favourite in many of the capital cities of Australia. Sydney is no exception and there are several restaurants which offer a wide variety of woodfired pizza dishes. However, you will need to know where to look if you want to find some of the best pizzas in the city.

Vacanza Pizzeria

Vacanza Pizzeria is one of the most popular pizza restaurants in Surry Hills. They serve authentic Italian dishes, including woodfired pizza. Located in Surry Hills, Vacanza has a beautiful atmosphere.

The pizza menu has eight different styles of pizzas. Whether you’re looking for a traditional margherita pizza, or a more unique vegan option, you’ll find a delicious choice at Vacanza Pizzeria.

The mozzarella bar provides a degustation of imported Italian cheeses. Their pantry offers fresh pasta and artisan Italian products. Happy As Larry is a favourite with pizza fans, with its pantry offering fresh pasta, sauces and platters. A wide variety of toppings are also available.

Dimitri’s Pizzeria

The next generation of Sydney pizza joint Dimitri’s Pizzeria has moved to a new location on Oxford Street. Once a staple on Crown Street, the ever-evolving slice stalwart relocated to the ground floor of the building in July.

Dimitri’s has been serving pizza since the 1970s, but it wasn’t until around twenty years later that it decided to relocate to the Oxford Street locale. With a dedicated woodfire oven and a commitment to quality Australian ingredients, the pizzeria has made a name for itself in the city.

Dimitri’s has a menu that focuses on bold flavours. In addition to pizza, the pizzeria serves artisan pasta dishes and a wide range of salads and desserts. You can also choose from a variety of drinks including natural wines, all-natural beers, and cocktails.

LP’s in Chippendale

Pizza has come a long way. The industry has evolved from a chicken and barbeque-based industry to one that combines tradition with innovation. In Sydney, you can find everything from high-end restaurants to pint-sized diners.

A new pizzeria is opening by former head chef of Tetsuya’s and Mugaritz Luke Powell. He is working with former MasterChef contestant Elvis Abrahanowicz. It will be called Bella Brutta.

It’s an intimate restaurant with long timber tables. And as well as serving pizza, it will have an entire floor dedicated to live music. This is in a building that was once a mechanic’s workshop. There’s a giant smoker in the open kitchen, which you can look into.

Bella Brutta

Bella Brutta is a new pizzeria in Sydney. Located in Newtown, this is an Italian restaurant that combines classic Italian dishes with authentic pizza.

Pizzas are made in an authentic wood-fired oven, allowing them to come out puffy and blistered. This makes them reminiscent of Neapolitan pizza. In addition to pizza, Bella Brutta also serves a variety of entrees.

Bella Brutta’s menu is simple, offering a few choices for a casual meal. Starters include fire-roasted vegetables, salumi of the day, and housemade pastas. For entrees, you can try a clam pizza, a surf clam pizza, or a Mortadella pizza. There is also a selection of cannolis and tiramisu.

Primavera Beehive

If you’re in the market for a pizza joint, you’ll be pleased to learn that Sydney’s wood-fired pizza isn’t the only one in town. There are several others along the North Shore, and one of the most innovative is slated to reopen in the fall. The main problem is figuring out which of the many to choose. Aside from its own signature pie, Sydney’s also serves up some tasty pasta and grilled meats. Despite its diminutive size, it packs a punch. Located near the heart of North Shore hors d’oeuvres, the place boasts of a friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. On a hot summer day, Sydney’s is a veritable haven for foodies.

Da Mario

Da Mario is an Italian restaurant located in Rosebery, south of Sydney’s CBD. Located in a warehouse style space, this Italian eatery is known for its classic Italian dishes and woodfired pizzas. This eatery offers 22 different pizzas that are sure to please any palate.

One of the most popular pizzas on the menu is the ‘Pizza Margherita Extra’. It’s topped with fresh tomato, basil, and mozzarella. The signature pizza is also available in two variations: the ‘Margherita STG’ uses Fior di Latte cheese, while the ‘Margherita Provencal’ is topped with buffalo mozzarella.

Da Mario is one of Sydney’s top pizzerias. Pizzaiolo David Cowdrill opened the restaurant in 1999 and it has quickly become a go-to place for traditional Italian food.

About Jonas

Jonas’s About Page has been updated (finally) Here’s the mobile version

Facts About Jonas

-He’s 21 years old

-The only job Jonas seems to be able to keep consistently is as some sort of lounge magician. He’s been (in no particular order) a bartender, a knock-off Chippendale dancer, a blackjack dealer, a cabana boy, a spa concierge, a limo driver for an Elvis-themed wedding chapel, a funeral home cosmetologist and once he was randomly paid fifty bucks for a job that may have involved the mafia, a fake gorilla suit and banana strawberry daiquiris.

-Jonas is an excellent cook

-His memory is spectacularly shitty, partly due to a bad accident he had when he was nineteen. He sometimes suffers from fugues because of this especially if he’s very stressed out

-He’ll often write down stuff he wants to remember on his arm or hand

-He’s a shorty. 5'2 to be exact and probably about ninety pounds soaking wet. He’s a skinny little fuck who sometimes forgets to eat

-His relationship with his family can best be described as uncomfortable and remote. He does however call his mom regularly. He and his dad are well. Not speaking. He’s the youngest of seven kids and quite by accident he’s the only legitimate kid. He doesn’t talk about his family a lot.

-Despite having big Chaotic Dumbass Energy, Jonas does have a pretty solid work ethic when he wants to and has been known to work himself half to death at times

-He’s very interested in Las Vegas history and the history of magic and enjoys spending time at museums to that effect

-He’s a pretty decent magician, good with cards and close-up magic, it’s just in the world of Vegas that’s not nearly flashy enough to be impressive.

-He has several very self-destructive habits, namely drinking and drugs (although if this is a trigger for anyone I will gladly tone it down)

-He falls for people very easily but he’s got a really warped sense of what love and commitment is. He’s not had very healthy relationships and since he’s got such a need to please, it’s easy for people to take advantage of him.

-He has a hard time actually saying the words I love you although he’s very physically affectionate and cuddly once he gets to know a person. ‘I love you’ represents a hope of a serious and more permanent relationship. He’s all too aware that the majority of relationships he’s in will never have that level of depth.

-Self-worth who? Don’t know her

The Cool & SRS Music Sharing Collective.

WUSB always had a history of dee-jays finding new music off each other. This was and always will be no issue. Thanks to Alice of Nightmare Aquarium, I’d never know who Ariel Pink or William Onyeabor were, and quadruple that for Black Marble, an act that’s become one of my best discoveries of the decade. Others had always asked me for playlists and “that one song I played fifteen minutes before the end of my show”. Our lives are a little more tolerable thanks to our station.

Shaerie, our dee-jay and resident astrologist, decided to create a secret group to post finds for only us to listen to. The Cool & SRS Music Sharing Collective was established in August 2016. She bestowed our dee-jay Conor (Headless Elvis) the title of admin- and the two started letting their closest friends and station volunteers in. “If there’s shitty music in this group, I will delete the fuck out of it”, she declared. Their first order of business? PWR BTTM’s “New Hampshire”. That was back when everyone and their cat loved them, until they were outed as sexual predators and then became shitty. We’ve yet to delete the fuck out of them, hmmm?

A month later, I was in. The SRS (“serious”) collective took off and we posted on a near-endless basis that almost everyone at one point had some catching up to do. Shaerie and Conor shared many a Bandcamp and d.i.y. find. They provided our daily allowance of acts in Downtown Boys, Ty Segall, Slowthai, Slothrust, Kal Marks, wosX, Car Seat Headrest, Saint Pepsi, Really Big Pinecone, and more. Cornflower posted some Argentinian musicks; and many others pitched the obvious, the classics, and some obscure finds in Brian Eno, Neu, Velvet Underground, The Fall, Richard Hell, Bush Tetras, Suicide, old-school hip-hop, alternative, shoegaze, and other nutritious pieces of good music. Other posts of theirs in Future Islands, Rolling Blackouts C.F., Speedy Ortiz, Idles, Snail Mail, Algiers, and Fidlar were ones my show Omega WUSB already played beforehand. They had our phases of Mac DeMarco and Frankie Cosmos worship. Did you know she was Phoebe Cates’ daughter? Shocked the shit out of me.

Some things dropped off on SRS became essential not only for Omega WUSB but for me personally. Conor’s why I’ve played Cende, Marijuana Deathsquads, Machine Girl, and Ghost Spell, and why I’m now a huge fan of Water From Your Eyes / Rachel Brown. He’s also the one responsible for me discovering Post Trash which helped influenced my show’s format and made me find the beauty of d.i.y. music. You can thank our friend Toasty for Palm’s “Dog Milk” that became part of a personal soundtrack to a wildly surreal summer.

Sharing is caring collecting, so I spread the wealth, too. I posted anything you could think of in hopes of resonating with our own. Most of the time it hit. Other times I struck out. Who was the only one who came though if others didn’t half the time? Spooky Christmas, the other (female) dee-jay who cares about sample culture as much as I do. Hooded Fang and Javelin were two which people jumped on board. Conor saw my post for Unstoppable Death Machines and he was floored: the billboard shown on Know Tomorrow was a real one very familiar for those driving west on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, and he was a fan of theirs.

We didn’t just post music, we posted current events, too. Our staff were (and still are) very into the meat of the city scene. They were sad to see Shea Stadium close down for good. That’s the venue, not the former home of the New York Mets but that’s been gone. Citi Field should also close down, too. (Go Yankees!) As Shaerie left, Conor took over and gave SRS an important edge. Leave it up to him to post pieces from the Washington City Paper, where Priest’s Katie Alice Grier questioned how safe safe-spaces really were; or from the Creative Independent about Lightning Bolt’s Brian Chippendale living in, owning, and being evicted from d.i.y. venues. See where our mindset is?

Even there were a few moments that I found my fellow staffers’ actions (besides posting PWR BTTM) questionable and grounds for expulsion from the SRS and the station. Toto’s “Africa” but with vocals one step out of key and off-beat. Marcus Mixx’ “My Oui Oui (New York)” for fuck’s sake. Smashmouth’s “Allstar” but every word is “somebody”. Yeah, somebody should’ve deserved a caning for that one. Mac Sabbath? Really? Thank Based God we didn’t post Okilly Dokilly, either.

But, they redeemed themselves when they really hit a few out of the park. Conor’s bandmate Jasko found Black Merda’s self-titled album. I thought I was the only one who knew of them. Cornflower found The Avalanches’ “Since I Met You”, which solved a mystery of what that song was I recorded on cassette 15 years ago. Conor once again wowed me when he posted Pigs’ You Ruin Everything (Unsane-related), because again, I had that all to myself. Kleenex’ “Nice”, Elite Gymnastics, Thee Oh Sees, and Death’s “Politicians In My Eyes” were other finds from our staffers which Omega WUSB played beforehand.

If not for Shaerie and Conor, I wouldn’t have a read on where some of the best dee-jays and selectors stood and what we’re all about. Some of what they posted for all to see was what I essentially wanted. What I wanted, like everyone else, was a connection with ourselves and the music. And I got it all in spades and diamonds. Thanks to everyone involved, I wouldn’t have summer memories, a newfound appreciation for the local / city scene, or the feelings I get for hearing specific sounds, vibes, ideas, and projections from certain artists. These are feelings I want and what they come with is a vision that makes me see and imagine things others don’t. As an aside, it was great to see what we’d come up with and how excited we were when we got it. It was a joker’s-wild goin’ on and we didn’t know what the fuck would happen.

For anyone keeping score, here’s what we took with us and what we gave back. Now it’s yours. It’s been a ride. SRS took off and ran well for a year-and-a-half. It slowed to a halt when everyone moved on and activity dwindled down. With six months of no activity at last year’s end (and a couple of autopsy posts after the fact just to see if anyone still cared), I finally gave SRS a proper eulogy. It’s sad that it came to an end. Hopefully, it will come back as a hologram one day.

Feest voor bewoners in De Mantel

Afgelopen zondagmiddag was het groot feest voor de bewoners van De Mantel. De bewoners werden verrast met een optreden van ’t Looporkest. Niemand wist wat ze er van te voren van mochten verwachten. ‘Misschien lopen ze wel alle afdelingen langs’. ‘Misschien lopen ze wel tussen het publiek door’. Of deze: ‘Misschien moeten wij wel polonaise gaan lopen!’. Maar de gasten hoefden alleen maar lekker mee te zingen en te klappen met de bekendste liedjes. Iedereen had het dan ook meer dan naar zijn zin. (P.S. de gezellige dames waren er helaas niet bij!)

In haar 25 jarig bestaan heeft ’t Looporkest een fantastische reputatie opgebouwd. Het trad op door geheel Nederland en ook vaak daar buiten. De leden van het orkest zijn geschoolde musici die hun sporen hebben verdiend, en de lijst van optredens is indrukwekkend: feesten, evenementen, winkelcentra promotie, begeleiding van bekende Nederlanders, deelname in televisie series en ontvangst van VIPs tot aan staatshoofden toe.

Door de jaren heen heeft ’t Looporkest zich onderscheiden met meer dan 40 verschillende thema′ s.

Daarbij niet uit het oog verliezend waarom het eigenlijk gaat: Muziek op hoog niveau. Het repertoire is breed en omvat dixieland, zeemansrepertoire, Rock ′n′ Roll, latijns amerikaans en op verzoek zelfs een stukje klassiek. Vocaal en instrumentaal, Engels- en Nederlandstalig.

Kortom ’t Looporkest manifesteert zich als een kameleon op iedere feestelijke gebeurtenis en is het hele jaar dag en nacht inzetbaar….

Thema-outfits mogelijk zoals fanfare, Sport, Paashazen, Matrozen, Bouwvakkers, Sneeuwmannen, Oranje, Chippendales, Pinguins, Jungle, Boeren, Bonte Dieren Parade en vele andere. Repertoire: Heel veel Dixieland, Rock en Roll, Glenn Miller, Elvis Presley, Beatles, Nederlandstalige vocale muziek.

Southwest Roadtrip - Episode 1: Viva las Vegas

When it comes to discovering the US, Johnny Cash kept it simple and straight to the point:

“I've been everywhere, man. Crossed the desert's bare, man. I've breathed the mountain air, man. Of travel I've had my share, man. I've been everywhere.“

And what a journey it was! Who knew a failed attempt to fly to Hawaii would result in such a fun adventure? We packed our stuff and jumped on a plane, destination Southwest of America. Starting by Vegas, passing through Arizona, stopping by Utah, resting in Colorado. Only my friend Belu would be as kamikaze to propose such thing and found in me such a blind partner-in-crime. It was September 4th, and we were rushing in a taxi from Hoboken to Newark to board our first flight during a global sanitary emergency, looking like Darth Vader’s close cousins with our masks and face shields.

After an approximately 6-hour flight, we landed in the middle of literally nowhere. We were able to see the pyramid and some other iconic architecture which I currently do not remember because it was about only for 5 seconds before landing. On arrival, on a mostly empty airport, we were surprised by the amount of slot machines that were there, welcoming everyone to place their bets. For sure, ours was to have fun and contrary to common belief, the house didn't win this one: we had a blast!

Followed by a surprise “SIN CITY, WOOO HOOO!” shout from someone who obviously has been living inside a thermos for the last past months, we cracked up and went to fetch a car. This very nice gentleman took us to the Bellagio (yeap, we went full on cliche mode, with what was originally a non-existent promo) while DJ Dani blasted her best records to kick off this adventure with the right feet: Viva Las Vegas by Elvis Presley and Just a Gigolo by Louis Prima Success.

DAY 1:

First things first: check in and adventure. Hotel, amenities and surroundings. Vegas spins around two main areas: the famous Strip, 6.8kms of the brightest place on earth seen from outer space full of hotels, restaurants, shops and of course, casinos. Pretty much Disneyworld for adults. The Bellagio is the iconic hotel which hosts some of the greatest restaurants and also the famous dancing fountains. Also, is one that is pretty centrally located, in between Caesars Palace (Roman Empire themed), The Cosmopolitan (which imitates boheme life from France) Aria and Park MGM Las Vegas (New York City represent!), Excalibur (Middle Ages) Luxor (Cleopatra’s Egypt) and The Venetian (of course, Venice). Everything is within walking distance but beware of the heat: a normal day in the desert is around 42C (107F), if not more, with a melting down thermal sensation of 1000 in any scale. This is why is also a city that is enjoyable during night time. So, do not feel bad about sleeping in a bit: you can always chill by the pool in the morning, have a little something for lunch and sleep (or remove the hangover) during the afternoon when the sun is unbearable. OR, the casino is always open so that could be an option. We chose to walk around a bit (big mistake) but luckily once you enter to the casinos, they are all connected with escalators, shade and AC, so we were mesmerized by this grown up themed park, where is so easy to lose track of time.

After an Italian lunch on a french bistro in a corner of Paris (? yes.. I know..) we went back and rest by the pool. Once the sun was already getting ready to bet some chips at night, we did too: we changed into our most shinny and glamorous outfit and won exactly 27 dollars! We checked out Venice, and some of the night shows that were happening on the streets (like naked promoters, the massive PM lines, and the crazy long-ass “juice” towers flowing around the more energetic covid-prone crowds) right before we headed up to Yellowtail, the Japanese and Michelin Starred restaurant at the Bellagio. We had their famous tuna pizza (it sounds terrible but it is more of a tostada or sashimi-style like) and got disappointed that they run out of the short ribs, but instead had some amazing sushi rolls and some tempura bites. When we found out about the beautiful, sigh-seeing windows that displayed all the fountain show we left our high-end attires aside and run to the windows, interrupting some other people’s dinner while leaving the waiters behind. We decided to go for dessert somewhere else and went to the piano bar located at the reception for a delicious espresso and a chocolate diamond cake. We did some neon-gazing and loved the fountain show to the beat of Believe by Cher, while being overwhelmed by a surreal feeling of actually being there, having so much fun and appreciating our friendship (and of course, avoided a high/drunk fellow who tried to take our pics and phone with them - she didnt know we were from New York and from Rio de la Plata, so the scam was on her!)

DAY 2

Repeat. (and pretty much that’s all we did). We kicked it off with a fake breakfast by the pool, and some piñas coladas in between facemasks. We also had a light lunch by the pool (a greek salad with some much needed water) and then, around 6:15 we took a cab to the Neon Museum - yeap, for those who think there is only light fun in Vegas, nope, think again, there are worthy museums, too! ( I even made a joke here! damn I’m inspired!). The Neon Museum is a scrap dealer cemetery, where all the old and somehow “broken” -even thou most of them have been repaired and are currently working!- neon signs from Old time Vegas rest. It is very fun to see old hotels, random letters, icons and logos being laid there, creating a wonderful mess in the middle of, again, you guess right, the desert. It was very fun and beautiful to be honest.

Another short taxi drive later (I was too naif thinking we could walk in short heels under the killer heat more than a block!) we drove thru what is known as “Old Vegas” or “Downtown Vegas”. This used to be the place where the magic happened before the creation of the Strip, but nowadays it only hosts what lingers of once a glamorous and kitschy past. The center of this action can be found throughout Freemont Street, a pedestrian long avenue that gathers classic neon signs, all-time Vegas characters (we still missed out on Elvis, so watch out impersonator, we will be back just for you!), stripers, street sellers, all you can eat venues, dodgy bars, and more and more neons. According to Las Vegas Tourism Board>> “Fun people, crazy people, partying, gambling, drinking, street performers, free music and light shows, zip lining and just having a good time... that's what you expect at Freemont.”

We had some pizza, talked to this Montana guy who for a second thought he was able to have a threesome with us on his dirty van, were voluntary abused by these hot, ripped stripers who made us laugh with their pick up line: “You can leave your face mask here, right by your underwear too, please.” The guys were a “sample” - since the show is canceled due to the pandemic- of Chippendales, something a fine woman needs to experience once in their lifetime. Belu felt in love with her boy, but given the current times and protocols, this love couldn't prosper as we all wished it had. No worries amiga, next time!

But the most striking part of this decadent place was witnessing this surreal restaurant called Heart Attack Grill, where people who weight more than 350lbs (almost 160kgs) eat for free. The biggest burger consist on 8 patties, and as an FYI, only the 4 patty burger is marked on the Guinness World Records Book as the “Quadruple Bypass Burger” with almost 10.000 calories, all the beverages consists on massive soft drinks, milkshakes, beers and wine, (full bottles, of course, served from an IV drip bag) and it is not allowed to share food. The place is cash only, you gotta weight yourself before entering, each patty is made of half pound each, everybody must wear hospital gowns and if you dare not to finish your meal, you get three spanks by the horny yet not so sexy waitress dressed as nurses. As a nice little detail, on the biggest burger you can pump it up with 40 slices of bacon by only $7.99 more! And, to wrap up this majestic hospital parlor, I recently researched that the legal owner of Heart Attack Grill is hilarious – Diet Center LLC. The founder is Jon Basso, who strives to provide “nutritional pornography” in his food. For a better comprehension (for a lack of a better word) of this place, you can check out this recap of Showtime’s series: Deadly Sins.

So, we were mesmerized, we were educated, we bet, we ate, we drunk and we touched some sweaty strippers, so there was only one thing left to do: crush a weeding. So there we went. There were multiple chapels around the area, but I dont know whether it was the time (it was around, 9, 9 and coins) so it may have been a little bit too late or due to COVID, but no weddings were in place. We finally arrived to the Little White Chapel, the original, unique one that has the Elvis sign, the drive-thru and the proud sign that states how Michael Jordan and Joan Collins got married there. We were so bummed to found only a very young, very dull couple getting married (she was wearing black, hence, that is all you need to know) and there was not a very jolly, merry spirit. Still, we managed to hang out with the best men and got a picture of two to remember this fail attempt to crush this very much lame wedding. Up we went to the Bellagio, checking out what was missing from Sin City: the Wynn Hotel, Route 515, 51 and the Famous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign.

We wrapped this unique experience witnessing an amazing, full moon in the middle of the desert, with a massive and delicious full on breakfast at Sadelle’s, a little piece of home in our far-away-from home hotel. Till next time, Vegas! You were great fun!

Reisemonat - LAS VEGAS

So meine Lieben,

ich melde mich jetzt auch zurück, da ich endlich Zeit gefunden habe, meine Blogeintrage nach zu holen.

Ich hoffe, euch geht es allen gut!

Am 16. Oktober 2018 war ich nicht nur genau ein Jahr in der USA, es begann auch unsere große Reise für genau 20 Tage. Unser erster Stopp war Las Vegas.

Are you ready for it?

Las Vegas 16.10. - 19.10.2018

Am Dienstag den 16.10. ging unser Flieger Morgens um 9:00 Uhr. Wir hatten einen Zwischenstopp und kamen gegen Nachmittag in Las Vegas an. Haben dann erstmal eingecheckt, uns frisch gemacht und sind auf den Strip (Hauptstraße in Vegas) gegangen. Wir haben auch noch etwas gegessen und haben uns die Wassershow vorm Bellagio und den Caesars Palace angeschaut. Danach ging es ins Bett!

Am Mittwoch den 17.10. sind wir früh hoch, haben bei uns im Hoteldiner gefrühstückt und haben unser Touri-Programm weiter geführt. Wir waren am Las Vegas Sign, Elvis Presley Kapelle und noch ein paar weitere Hotels, weil die einfach so schön zum angucken sind. Und wir waren sogar noch im Coca Cola Shop und ich habe mir ENDLICH eine Coca Cola Schlafhose gekauft. Man Freunde, ich bin im Himmel! Gegen 16 Uhr sind wir dann erstmal zurück ins Zimmer, haben uns frisch gemacht und waren um 17:30 Uhr bei Gordon Ramsay Burger essen. Danach ging es für uns drei Mädels zu den Chippendales... Sorry, filmen war verboten und dafür war eh keine Zeit! Die Show war der Hammer. Eins DER Highlights von unserem Trip in Las Vegas! Nach der Show sind wir schnell zurück ins Hotel und direkt schlafen gegangen.

Am Donnerstag den 18.10. mussten wir nach knappen 3 Stunden Schlaf aufstehen und waren um 4 Uhr Morgens bei der Autovermietung. Für uns ging es nämlich zum Grand Canyon! Nach 5 Stunden Autofahrt durch die Wüste von Arizona kamen wir and und ich muss sagen, dass es echg beeindruckend war! Leider hatten wir das Wetter einbisschen unterschätzt und es war kühler als gedacht. Naja, wir haben trotzdem das Beste draus gemacht und die Natur genossen. Am besten schaut ihr euch die Bilder an:

Auf dem Rückweg mussten wir noch eine Stunde mit unserer Fluggesellschaft telefonieren, weil wir ein paar Probleme mit unserem Flug hatten, aber zum Glück ist Nicole in sowas ein Naturtalent! Als wir endlich in Las Vegas ankamen, waren wir alle fix und fertig und sind nur noch ins Bett gefallen. Allerdings mussten wir vorher noch Koffer packen.

Am Freitag den 19.10. ging es nach wenig Schlaf wieder früh zum Flughafen und dort hatte unser Flug natürlich Verspätung. Sichtlich geschafft, saßen wir dann am Gate und haben Däumchen gedreht. Ende vom Lied: Wir saßen um 8 Uhr im Flieger nach L.A. anstatt um 5:40 Uhr. Aber das war uns auch recht.

Ja das war unsere Zeit in Las Vegas! Ich versuche noch ein paar Bilder hoch zu laden, damit ihr einen guten Eindruck bekommt!

See you in L.A.!

Eure Jule ��️
