Grand Canyon adventure :)

The way to Grand Canyon was the longest way that we drove. It took us nearly 9 hours!!! It would be at least 1,5 hour less if we got the great invention called GPS :)

Misa, Bara and Niki were taking turns with driving and because I am not 21 yet and I can´t drive, I was declared as an enterteiner. It was not that simple as it seems! I had to amuse all of them, I had to overcome their and MINE fatigue and I had to navigate the driver to the right direction (it was more of guessing which way to go than actually knowing :D )

When we were too tired and unable to drive more miles we decided to find the nearest camp site (which was not easy either). Luckily we succeed and laid our heads at arround 3 am.
On the way to the Grand Canyon National Park we found the best camp-site ever! It was called The Bed-rock City and it was exactly what you are thinking. It was a perfect imitation of the BEDROCK CITY from the series The Flinstones! And what is the best for us addicted to coffee- a cup of coffee costs only 5cents!!! Yep, 5 c.e.n.t.s! :D (it´s like 0,03 EUR!)

Unfortunatelly we had no time to spent there at least one night- we had to continue with our adventure :)

We spent in Grand Canyon only one day but I can tell you- It is STUNNING! The nature, the sky...everything... It makes you feel so small and so vulnerable. When we saw it for the first time- we were just staying there on the edge of the Canyon for several minutes- speechless.
We were overcoming our feers and phobia from heights just to take the great pictures! I can hardly describe the beauty of the Grand Canyon!

The only thing that was not as beautiful was the tarantula that crossed our path! (and I bet it was not the only scary creature that lives there) It was huge, it was hairy, it has LOOOOONG legs. You can imagine how we acted when we saw it about 0,5meter from our legs. It is a funny story now but in that moment...well, not so funny :) Too bad nobody was so brave to actually take a photo of it.

We left Grand Canyon with the sunset- it was even more beautiful watching the sun going down and the Grand Canyon fell asleep.
We left absolutely happy, all smiling and singing songs out loud- we had no idea what kind of night is about to come :)
