Day 8: June 20

Beep, Beep, Beep……the alarm clock is ringing and 8th day of our trip starts.
The morning was pretty relaxed. After having breakfast, everybody had time to hang out at the pool, check his or her e-mails and go shopping in the stores, which surround the hotel.
At 11 o’ clock we are leaving the hotel in order to hit the road to our next destination. Grand Canyon, here we come! While driving through the desert and watching a movie, the time is going by rapidly. Around noon the bus stops. It is lunch time. KFC, Panda express, or McDonalds? That is a hard decision that we have to make. For today we want to go with Chinese food, so the group picks Panda express. After having enjoyed our meals, got to play American football or got to tan in the sun, we continue our trip to the Grand Canyon.

At 4.30 we finally arrive at our hotel. Well, actually it is not really a hotel but a super cool Ranch where we have a lot of different options to spend the evening. Some refresh themselves in the pool or play sports such as Volleyball, Tennis or American Football while others just relax and tan in the sun of Arizona. But the really athletic ones burn some calories and get a good work out in the gym.
At 7.30 it is time for dinner, which takes place at the Ranch.
Today’s curfew is at 11.30.
Everybody has to get some good sleep in order to be fit for the next day when the alarm clock will ring pretty early again. Beep, Beep, Beep….. And day 9 of our trip will start.
