After spending the 3 days in Los Angeles clearing meetings and appointments, it's time to set off for Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Furniture Market. This time round, we decided to head up to Las Vegas by car.

En route, I found this place which I am sure Jaslyn will squeal with delight when she sees this.

We took the Mercedes Benz S65 AMG and pushed it to 240 km/h. Too bad, by the time I got out the camera, we came down to 210 km/h already as we had to slow down before we crash into the cars up front.

This is where the 600 horses are packed under the hood. It was a journey of about 190 miles or 305 km (roughly Singapore to KL). We could have cleared it under 3 hours if not for the fact that the traffic was pretty heavy and we spotted several Highway Patrol before they spotted us.

Er.... anyone knows how to pronounced this name on the street sign?

Ahh yes, the famous Death Valley, located in the equally famous Mojave Desert, at 86m below sea level, marks the lowest point in the USA.

Speaking of desert, we were under the scorching sun all the way and the outside temperature reads 47 degrees Celsius on our dashboard.

At about the 3/4 way mark, we saw a lightning storm up ahead and we drove in its direction.

As we drove right into the storm, the temperature plummeted to 23 degrees Celsius. A drop of 14 degrees in a matter of minutes! However, we drove through and passed the storm behind us, the temperature returned to the 40s.

The final stretch before we hit Las Vegas was straight all the way. Time Check: 3 hours exactly.

Passed by this curious looking hill with the black top amidst the light brown of the desert sand. Turns out that it was the shadow of the large cloud above.

Jaslyn: Coach + Factory + Outlet mah... No?
Chocolate: I wonder how many spoonfuls of sugars is in a coke of that size?
Anna: Nah, it's just us trying to see how fast this car can go. Most cars travel about 110 to 120 km/h which explains why we had to slow down with we eventually caught up with the cars in front of us.
