General Shermann Tree

Very very impressive this trees. The General shermann Tree is the largest giant sequoia by trunk volume.
84 meters hight and a circumference of 31.5m (still growing), named after William Tecumseh Sherman.
We've got a couple of giant trees in Zurich, but not even compareable with those in Sequoia National Park.

Las Vegas Part 2 / "I love Burgers"


Turned out, the "Lamborghini Dealer" was a restaurant where they mostly! display one
Italien Supercar, no Koenigsegg at all.

Sure I love Burgers and real good Burgers are rare, like What's Beef in Duesseldorf where I've been this year. Today I gave I  Love Burgers a try.

My Order:
  • World’s Best Fried Pickles with Sour Cream
  • Garbage Fries (Golden brown French fries with buffalo chili, jalapeños, green onion, cilantro, black olives and aged cheddar cheese sauce)
  • Wagyu Kobe Burger (House-ground Wagyu beef (medium), truffle cheese, garlic and onion marmalade, crispy proscuitto and butter lettuce on a pretzel bun. Served with a port demi reduction.)

The Wagyu Beef Burger was maybe the best burger I ever had so far!!! Another highlight, definitely the Fried Pickles. 
Sadly only available in Vegas. Otherwise I would go there every week!



 Some gambling... was still counting at this time ;)

Las Vegas

Yesterday we spontaneously decided not spending the night between Page and Las Vegas. We looked up the distance 
and checked out ebookers for a great deal (35€) for the Stratosphere Hotel. Unbeatable price and included was also the Tower entry which provides 
a great view over Las Vegas. Normally you pay 15$ p.P only for the Tower.
Late arrival, Tower ready for Dinner. I decided going to the Bellagio as it has one of the best Buffet's in town. To be honest, for US Buffet good, but in my opinion definetely not as good as everybody told me. Highlights for me, Beef, Chinese Broccoli (very rare at my place) and the big selection of Desserts. By the way, the pizza was disgusting. Worst pizza I ever had!

Now I'm sitting in my Suite at The Palazzo.

As I heard something about a Lamborghini Dealer, who displays exotic cars 
 like Koenigsegg anywhere in the hotel, I will push my luck to see the new Agera R

Lower Antelope Canyon

Around 10 minutes from Page is the entrance to the Lower Antelope Canyon.
Over the years, Lower Antelope Canyon has become a favorite place, specially for photographers.
The Navajo name for Lower Antelope Canyon is Hasdeztwazi or "Spiral Rock Arches."
It has been created over thousands of years by water and wind, sculping the sandrock.
Really a cool place, see your self...


Did you see the Lion- and the Buffalo-Head? ;)
