At last we have wifi after four days of non-internet days. We have now seen the north, east and south rims of the Grand Canyon and all of us believe we are experts regarding this famous American icon. We left the South Rim and headed south to Williams where the Grand Canyon train departs every day and it is also the last bypass road of the famous Route 66. From Williams we headed west to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead and boy it was crowded. The US are having their Labour Day long weekend and making use of the remaining summer days before their winter season starts. From Hoover Dam we made Sin City (Las Vegas) and have three days in the Best Western Casino Royale located dead centre of the famous Strip. It is ideally situated to all the casinos and sites along the long Strip (Las Vegas Boulevard). Choon and Anne gave Macy's a serious hiding in the Fashion Mall and after headed into the crowded night life along the Strip. Witness the Bellagio fountain display before heading back to the accommodation. Tomorrow Meng and Choon are off on a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon Sky Walk and a boat trip down the Colorado River. Neil and Anne are having a rest day. As we are back on a good wifi connection prompt photos will be available tomorrow - cheers.
