Welcome home
So, the time has come, Isabella is here and performing her acrobatics in the pool, I collected the RV and we’re off. Once we pick up Cristiano from the airport it’ll be directly north to Black Rock City. It’s a long journey from Las Vega to Reno where we have to stop to pick up…
Around Vegas
Bye bye Zion, for sure it’s just farewell and not goodbye as I think this magic place will see more of me. Only a few hours move to the city where everything goes, Las Vegas. The road there is as desert as I’ve encountered so far, even the welcome to Nevada sign is in the…
