Lack of wireless has meant no updates for a few days, crap eh! Right now we are staying on the strip in Vegas and the buggers don't have wireless so this is coming to you loud and clear from the Las Vegas Convention Centre :-). We dropped the car off yesterday after driving in over the Hover dam from the Grand Canyon, where we took a helicopter flight over the south rim and got up to watch a magnificent sunrise over the canyon. In all of our photos we look super imposed, it's crazy!
We got chatting to an old biker somewhere along the trip who said we should visit a place called Sedona in Arizona. OH MY GOD! My mouth was ajaw driving down the valley into Sedona. This place was amazing, red rocks, mesa's, we took a red jeep tour up into the hills and thanks to Jack our real life cowboy complete with Colt 44 hand gun, ensured we didn't get mauled by any mountain lions.
Following the mother road, Route 66, we drove over 2,000 miles and through 7 states. The changes in landscape from forest to corn fields to desert is amazing, it almost feels like each state has been divided according to it's geography.
We have moved our flights back a week and cancelled Fiji so we get some more time in the US. After a few days in Vegas we are going to drive to San Fran via Death Valley and Yosemite national park. Anyway, I digress. It's 8am in Vegas and time to hit the shows and casinos. Whoo Hoo bring it on! Tonight we have choices of female jelly wrestling and bikini bull rides and that's just in our hotel!
And in true Vegas style, we both took a Corvette and Hummer for a spin...SWEEET!
