We checked out and headed straight through Zion. After passing through the mile long mount Carmel tunnel we stopped at a couple of lookouts to admire the eastern side of Zion park. Aside from a quick pit stop our next stop was at red rock canyon on the approach to Bryce canyon national park. We…
The Zion park shuttle buses finished running during the week last week. So we drove into the park, paid the $30 for a week’s pass and parked up near the grotto. We walked up the west rim trail towards angel’s landing. At scouts lookout we both decided that the roped climb and precipitous ridge to…
We had breakfast in Greenbergs again before checking out and hitting the road out of Vegas. We stopped off at the Walmart supercentre in Mesquite to get some bits for lunch and ended up sitting in the car in a nearby car park to eat it. Next stop was at the visitor centre and wildlife…
We went to Della’s Kitchen at the Delano for breakfast with Kate. Pretty expensive, but very good. Ady and I both had the pork benedict. We got the monorail back up to the Excaliber and walked to the Thomas and Mack for the last day of the PBR. JB didn’t ride due to a sprained…
We met Kate for breakfast at Greenbergs. A far more sensible croissant filed with egg, bacon and cheese this morning. We wandered across the road to the Adidas store and then bought tickets for Ka back at the New York New York concierge desk. We then got in the car and drove to Main Street…
We were up early and went to Tom’s Urban for breakfast, where Kate joined us for a coffee. Feeling stuffed after our four egg omelettes with sides we jumped in the car. A short journey down the I15 and we were at South Point for the PBR bull housing tour. There was an introduction by…
We were on the last flight of the season that Virgin Atlantic fly direct from Manchester to Las Vegas. We departed on time at 12:35pm and arrived at McCarran just after 3pm. The nine and a half hour flight was very smooth. We enjoyed the free alcohol and were plied with plenty of food. After…
Ady organised a day trip to Bassenthwaite lake. We went for a short walk around the northern end of the lake in glorious sunshine and had a small picnic lunch. We then went to the Lakes Distillery, where Ady had booked us in for a late lunch. We arrived in time to have a look…
On the Thursday and Friday we stayed on the boat in the marina and did some work on a few things. This included fixing an external aerial to turn the laptop on board into a wireless hotspot. We also carried on reading through the RYA training books. This lead to realising that some of the…
We had a very short sail today. We had intended heading further out, but the wind dropped and so we went to the East Shambles Buoy and back.
