21st June - The bus stopped in front of Great Salt Lake for breakfast. I was one of the few that managed to wake up early enough to enjoy the sunrise. We then head for Salt Lake City, a Mormon settlement and were fortunate to arrive in time for a guided tour around the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Constructed on Temple Square, in the center of the city, the temple took 40 years to complete. Utah is a desert state and the heat is much hotter than S'pore with the cloudless sky. Afterwhich we headed to the University of Utah and visited their Museum of Natural History which displays prehistoric dinosaurs, mammals, olden tribal Indian settlements to animals and reptiles found in Utah. In the evening, we made our way to a small private own campsite with a hill of hot springs behind their house. Along the way, we played Poker: Texas Hold'em and prepare for our visit to Lad Vegas. That night, there was a small band performing on the top of the hill. I laid in a bathtub of hot sulfur water as I enjoyed their songs. Some remained to stay near a fire, while others went back to sleep. I joined the majority in the hot spring at the foot of the hill as we smuggled liquor to drink and enjoy the clear sky of stars. It's illegal to consume drinks with high alcohol content in the city.
