Sunrises, sunsets, magnificent scenery – again. There’s no real point in taking more photos as they bear a striking resemblance to yesterday and the day before. But its irresistible so here you go. A couple of walks classed as easy today, and stuck closer to the river (Virgin, since you ask).
This part is called The Narrows right at the top of the Canyon. The only way through is to walk in the river – and loads of people do with special waterproof walking shoes. We didn’t.
Stopped for lunch, obviously.
With a decent view.
And found a friend …
… who clearly can’t read!
More pics.
And if you’ve got to wait for a bus, where else?
More pics – apologies if it’s repetitive but it is an amazing place.
And what makes it more amazing is the accessibility, cleanliness and all round convenience. All the paths today were paved and well marked, so wheelchairs and pushchairs can do it. A shuttle bus takes you round and drops you off at various walking places. Others are more adventurous than us – one guy on the bus had been out for 2 days.
Added to that, there are loos everywhere, and taps so you can continually replenish your water bottle for free.
Brilliant!
Anyway, it’s getting to that time of the holiday where we can reflect. My first reflection is BIG. Everything is super-sized, including:
– food portions
– holes in the ground
– rocks
– caravans. By no means the largest either.
– caravans. By no means the largest either.
– motor homes – again only a modest example compared so some.
– and parking spaces which seem to be about 50% larger than UK ones. And I’ve no idea why, but no-one ever reverses into a parking space.
Vegas tomorrow – might be a bit different.
