Vegas was fun, but it was time to escape the bright lights and human flotsam. Plan was to head to lake Mead to hire a jet ski, but the wind was blowing a gale, so that was out.
The ride through the valley of fire was brilliant.
Then the Grand Canyon. Didn't think I would be as impressed as I was. It really is a spectacular place.
We went to what is known as Grand Canyon west. Apparently not as developed as the eastern side, which Is 260 mikes from here. I was amazed test there Is no fence to protect the tourists from falling to their deaths, but apparently there has never been a jumper here as opposed to the eastern side where they keep a Tally.
11 thIs year they reckon.
I must admit I was tempted to push a couple of the other tourists over but restrained myself. Why do people turn into retards on holidays? It puzzles me.
Sam braved the spectacular skywalk which has a 1 metre thick glass floor. I preferred to keep my feet on solid ground. I don't do heights me.
We are staying at an Wild West themed ranch which is Run by the local Indian tribe. Pretty quirky, and totally disorganised, but but good fun and we have an awesome view from our pachio.
Could be worse. Could be in jail.
Sam reckons the local poles would leave some splinters.
Had a great feed of Ribs, Mash and beans, while a cowboy sang sad songs.
Was great fun, but now I think I need a therapist.
Weather has turned to shit, rain wind and cold, so tomorrow is going to be interesting,
Nice pics.

No fence? hahaha. Yu did notice how much edge there was?
That's right up there with "Hey these Alps look like mountains."
