It was already the last day already for Marlise.

She had to get her flight at 4PM.

Jan decided to go to Venice
and I went with Marlise to Beverly Hills.

To check out the shopping street
and have a lunch.

When we drove to it, we took a wrong turn
and we ended up in the residential area of Beverly hills.

I had seen some nice villas in my life,
but these are part of the better villa’s I’ve ever seen.

When I had a look at my phone,
we saw we had to drive in the opposite side.

Then we saw rodeo drive!

And immediately you see the luxury cars,
beautiful stores and nice restaurants.

We parked our car in a parking,
but I felt a little bit ashamed,
because we were driving through the desert the day before.

The car was looking extremely dirty.

The valley guy looked at us,
With a face like he didn’t saw a dirty car before in Beverly hills.

When he parked our car,
you could see my car between all the clean luxury cars.

We parked in the middle of rodeo drive,
so when we exited the parking,
we were immediately in the center of the shopping street.

It’s such a beautiful shopping street,
it looks so clean.

I even heard Marlise say,
that it was the most beautiful shopping street she ever saw.

All the A brands are located in Beverly Hills.
They all have beautiful stores, with doorkeepers.

Here are some pictures of the stores and luxury cars.

Roberto Cavalli, Patek Philippe and Rolex

Because we had to be at LAX at 2PM,
we didn’t had much time for shopping.

Then we decided to have lunch at The Blvd.

A nice restaurant/hotel,
located at the end of Rodeo Drive,
with a terrace with a view over the shopping street.

This is the view you have while you sit on the terrace.

Before we ordered our food,
we celebrated her last day in Los Angeles.

While you sit on the terrace,
there are constantly exotic cars passing by.

Ferrari FF and McLaren MP4-12C Convertible

When we had our lunch
we drank one last aperitif and went back to our car.

Our parking was located in this beautiful shopping center.

Time to drive to LAX.

A new morning, a new day!

Because we were not sure if we would drive back to LA
after seeing the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon,
so we didn’t book an extra night in that hotel and we had to check out.

This time it was a quick check out, because you could do it over the TV.

After we checked-out, grabbed our luggage and drove to the Hoover Dam.

Before you can enter the Hoover Dam,
you have to go through a Police Check Point.

But I can’t understand why, b
ecause they don’t even look at you, they just give a signal/gesture you can drive along.

Once we were in, we saw the Hoover Dam and it’s quite an impressive dam!

It’s huge and Vegas is almost completely relying on that dam, to get their power.

After we parked our car, some luxury cars were passing us.
I can admit the sound was awesome, because of the echo the dam created.

When the guy in the Lamborghini saw I was making pictures,
he gave me the thumbs up and made some extra noise.

After they passed us, we had a look at the Hoover Dam again and its surroundings.

There are a lot of people trying to throw money in to the dam for good luck,

but a lot of the money doesn’t even get in to the water.

So it’s a funny sight too see it lying around on those rocks.

After that, we walked towards the Hoover Dam,
to have a look on both sides.

After an hour or more, we decided we also wanted to see it from the bridge.

So we had to drive towards an other parking, where you could take some stairs to get onto the bridge.

Once your parked and walked all the stairs,
the first thing you see, is that it is an Memorial Bridge.

After that you see, your going to enter Arizona, by walking over the bridge.
And of course if you walk the opposite way, back to the car, that you will enter Nevada.
