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.
A short sail from Portland along the coast to Anvil Point. We were going to anchor in Chapman’s Pool, but finding the water shallow and the anchor switch having broken we abandoned that idea. Dad and I repaired the anchor switch on the move and then anchored up in Mupe. We had tea there and…
A walk around Brownsea Island in the morning and then sail back to Portland. The sail back was into the wind in fairly rough seas and so we motor sailed the whole way. Part way back three dolphins joined us for a short period of time and played in the waves off the port side.
