Death Valley, USA - 4th June 2018

By: turtles

After two hours sleeping, turtles waked me up because we had to pick up our car.
A nice red Mustang convertible. Yeah. The right car for a big fish like me and a brave green frog.

Quacky and I took the best spot and enjoyed the drive to Death Valley.

First we went to Dante's View, a viewpoint at 1,669 m height, overlooking Death Valley. The landscape was so amazing, but it was very hot and a little bit windy. Turtles loved it. Crazy girl. Quacky Kind and I melted and F.M. Baer refused to leave the car. (the car had air conditioning!)

From Dante's View we drove to Badwater Basin, the the lowest point in the USA, with a depth of 86 m below sea level. When we were there we had 121 degrees Fahrenheit, so 49.4 degrees Celsius. Did I mention that we melted?

After Badwater Basin we had a short look to Artist Point, and then turtles drove to our hotel, which was already close to Sequoia National Park. We arrived late and it was already dark.
