The Grand Canyon

Huge amounts of fun last night at the bowling alley! Great music and disco lighting. Plus buds on tap. 4 games later and several refreshments we called it a night. Twinkle toes just came out in front!

Drove to the south summit of the canyon which was only about 10 minutes up the road. Paid the $25 entrance fee and we were in. They once again do it well. You park the car and they have free shuttle buses that you take to various points of interest. Hop on and hop off. Great service.

First impressions leave you speechless! They don't call it grand for no reason. All I can say is bring on the chopper ride with our friends from Las Vegas! It will be breathtaking!

Did lots of walking and took so many photos but it's difficult to capture the grandeur of the place.

Left there after quite a few hours for Flagstaff. Drove around there a little trying to find the highlights. Discovered there wasn't a huge amount! Went to the information centre and found out there is a classic car show on Saturday.

So made our minds up to return to Williams which was 30 miles back up the road and checked in here till Saturday. It's such a awesome place. Sitting at the Cruisers Cafe 66 waiting in our ribs to arrive. A guy is singing fantastic music. It sure is American true and a great place to be!

Point to note - once again number 13 looks after us. Checked out room at lodge, unique, said how about 2 nights instead of 1, she said the particular room we looked at isn't available for 2 but have another one which is. It's number 13 and even better! 2 very happy campers once again!
