And Miles to go before I sleep.....We woke up and regretted that we had to leave this place by early afternoon. We had planned to get up early and explore, but whatever time we spent there was going to be too less. Ekta and I had decided that we would be back soon again- and we were, about a year later. But thats for later, for now we just savoured nature's art, it must have taken a while for God to create this.

It was a tough decision, what trail to explore, since we knew we could do only one. The choice was made, a waterfall, and it was a very good choice.

The drive back led us through some beautiful areas and we captured some in the camera and others in our memories.

And from a wonder created by nature, we moved on to one created by man, Las Vegas. The drive was a rush since we had to make it to Vegas by 8, to catch another wonder, this time of human imagination, 'O' by Cirque de Soliel . I was not too happy about spending money for this extremly expensive show, but that changed within minutes of the show starting. Ekta was right (as always) this was a stunner.

This place was just a treat to the eyes

Vegas also bought along the first planning disaster of the trip. For the 3 nights in Vegas we had booked 3 different hotels and we realized that we booked 2 for the second night and none for the first. After some frantic calls to the travel sites, we did sort that out with less than $10 in loss, happy ending, except receiving some credits for being bad planners !!
