London
Went to London prior to Christmas as we hadn't been yet on this trip and also to be closer to friends we were going to spend Christmas Day with - so that we didn't get caught up in expected traffic mayhem (Boris had given every one a free pass for 5 days around Christmas).

Rhône Glacier
Since the opening of the modern-day Furka pass road 150 years ago, thousands of tourists have come to see the unique mountain panorama around the Rhône Glacier. The ice grotto, which is re-drilled each year, looks whitish-grey, but inside the 100m long tunnel, the ice chamber glows in magically fine shades of blue.

Tombstone & Pillsbury Winery
When we were warned that the historic town of Tombstone was a tourist trap, we should have listened. That, in a nutshell, describes our short-lived experience in the town that – like Old Tucson studios – looked like it had been plucked straight from a western. Boasting attractions spanning from gunfights re-enacting the infamous O.K Corral shootout to museums dedicated to famous outlaws, practically everything came with an entry fee – which we decided was not worth the cost. We considered getting lunch at one of the old fashioned saloons, but soon decided otherwise when we were left waiting in a queue with nobody offering any service or time frame…

Viva Las Vegas
Retracing our steps through Sin City, the City That Never Sleeps, the Marriage Capital of the World, the City of Second Chances, or as it is more commonly known - Las Vegas - was, to put it simply, an interesting experience, though perhaps not AS interesting as I anticipated it to be.
