5 o'clock at midnight, I woke up, caling Condy( phobia =P I thought we were late again!)haha, but it was just 5o'clock
And I couldn't sleep anymore
We gathered at bus stop at 6a.m. Today w sat in the middle of the bus, is kind of rotation thing, we won't sit at the same place everyday.
Cindy was kinda scared of the bus driver! (hehe, due to certain reason=P)
2and half hour seemed to be standard time for every stop. So, yeah! we were heading towards Crazy horse.
We had bread with grape jam as our breakfast..... After 5 hours, we reached! Well, on the way, we had another movie! Iron Man 1,2, I bet I fall in love with Iron Man eh! The only thing is that his ego was too high! And believe me, high ego killed people!
Crazy horse had nothing much to see. It was called so not because the horse was crazy or the one who ride the horse was crazy. It was simply the language used by the tribe to indicate the sacrifice of the one that fight for their tribe when American attacked them. In order to reduce the number of death, they gave up!
So, the crazy horse monument was built to commemorate this guy but it was half carved on the mountain. So, we could barely see the shape but the face of the warrior was almost done but the horse was half way carved.
I guess it was going to take quite a long time for the monument to be built because they were self- supported without assistance of government.
We watched the performance of the tribe, took some photos and went back to bus IMMEDIATELY(FYI, to promote punctuality, the tour guide just set a new rule, whoever late need to sing a song!)
The next highlight was Mountain Rushmore with the sculpture of 4 American presidents ( frm left to right- Washington, Jefferson, Theodore, Lincoln). Theodore was a little darker compared to the others as it was the last one that they built. They took about 13years to built and and it involved about 400 workers.
Well, we watched another Iron Man 3. before we reached Devil Mountain. Originally, it was the volcano but now it was dead volcano. It was raining quite heavily when we reached there, hard to capture a nice photos though! But to look at it was really nice as the clouds were dark and covered most of the blue sky. Somehow, it gave eerie feeling to people. We went to the souvenir shop and saw a magnet written with words" The last one was delicious and who is the next!" It sounds like we were going to be the next meal!
We had our lunch with a pair of sweet couple. They kind of reminded me of my parents. The old man was just as stubborn as my dad! Haha, the woman kept asking him to eat something but the old man insisted the bun will just do fine as he could not accept food like this.....
At the next stop, we went to supermart to buy our dinner and breakfast. Together with the couple, we had instant noodles as our dinner. Well, although I don't really love to eat instant noodle but I don't mind to have it once a while. We added ham that we bought as well! Yummy....haha, sometimes, even the food might not as tasteful but well, you can use your imagination to assume someone sweet cook it for you and it might taste even better I guess....
After of dinner, we took 5min to reach our hotel...I slept so so so early tonight, guess what? the wifi was ao weak that I assume there is none!
