The Grand Canyon

4th day of our tour covers The Grand Canyon.

the journey was long. bout 2 and a 1/2 hours to reach the small town of Arizona before we transitted to another bus to travel another 45 minutes on the bumpy road to Grand Canyon.

on the way to the Canyon, we passed by the Hoover Dam built on the Colorado River. it's named after the ex-US President Herbert Hoover as he played an important role in building the Dam back then. It's located just at the border of Nevada and Arizona and these two states are in different time zone. standing one foot on each state, the one side on Nevada is one hour younger and the other is one hour older. kakaka...


we continued our journey and everyone continued to sleep in the coach. especially me and mei mei... :p

it worth everything when i saw the canyon.





it definitely look grandier than the picture i took!







me jumping on skywalk! fyi, i was screaming walking on the skywalk. :p

i dunno how to describe. it's just grand!! fantastic view. we wanted to take a helicopter ride but wind is blowing too strong. sigh... else, it will be another different experience. :)
