Day 8 - 10 Palm Springs
Hotel: Marriott Desert Springs Resort and Hotel
The closer we got to the hotel, the further up the Fahrenheit chart the temperature went, and not being able to find the hotel was also raising the heat in the car. We stopped off at a little diner to see if they could offer directions but struggled to put our feet on the floor. The time was approaching 12:00 and the temperature was 108 degrees.
When we eventually found the hotel I needed a shower, the shower in the room was so powerful it pinned me to the back wall and took off the top layer of skin. It was awesome. So awesome in fact that as soon as I came out of the shower, I told Clare how amazing it was, and then went straight back in the shower.
The Desert Springs was an idyllic oasis in the middle of nowhere, the views from our room was palm tree, palm tree, palm tree, huge dune, palm tree, palm tree. You really got the feeling of isolation from everywhere, it was so relaxing, but really hot.
Palm Springs for us was a total relaxation in the middle of a hectic holiday and it was a welcome break. The pools were beautiful, the grounds of the hotel very picturesque and the lobby full of tweeting parrots and birds.
On our first night we ventured towards the local restaurants and decided to go for a City Wok meal, this was probably the worst meal of the holiday but we were not expecting much and I was too hot to care. Back to the hotel and a few cocktails later, I really didn't care, but I was still hot, time for a shower.
The second day was pretty much the same, relaxing by the pool, few cocktails and a buffet meal in the hotel and a shower, our relax time was coming to an end. In the morning we were to return to Las Vegas.
