06:30 AM Wyndham Garden Bakersfield<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

We woke up early in the morning to proceed to our next destination, Las Vegas. We were listening to the morning news when we realised that there was a terrible fog, that was expected to disperse at noon time. We had no choice but to stay indoors until the fog disperse. We had a simple breakfast which consist of our leftover Blueberry juice from Starbucks and Zesty Nachos from Denny’s.<\/p>\n

Finally arrived at the hotel lobby. We were lost within the hotel itself! We parked our own car instead of approaching the valet parking. From the car park, we were required to go down and walk through the shopping area of the hotel, go through the Casino to the escalators down to the hotel lobby. It was a long and tiring walk, with all our huge and heavy luggage.<\/p>\n

JR trying to talk to the horse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back indoors.<\/p>\n

20:35 PM Ocean One Palm Grill<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not knowing what to have for dinner, we did a random selection and ended up at Ocean One Palm Grill.<\/p>\n
