Reno

We arrived in Reno in the evening, when all of it's neon-lit splendour was on display. During the daytime, its a hot and dry, but honest kind of working-class American town, where our British accents went down a treat. Although it's off-season, there's still loads of people there trying their luck in the casinos, including an awful lot of Japanese people for some random reason. There's some cool stuff to check out downtown, like the National Motor Museum. Check this out, this is my new car, a desert race-spec Hummer...




















After a while though, Clare and I got a bit sick of wondering around the casinos, pawnbrokers and tacky gift shops, so we took a random bus out of town into the desert (although there was a massive K-Mart out there, hence the bus-stop), to get a new perspective on the place. Check this out...

















Most of the skyscrapers you can see are casinos!

Next stop is Salt Lake City, Utah, although we have a monster 12-hour train journey to look forward to to get there. The train station in Reno has 2 trains a day, one goes east and one goes west. Simple as that.
