Nearing the end...
Hi!
Hows it going? Well - Grand Canyon - amazing... We went there for sunset on both nights we were there - definitely the best time to see it - gorgeous colours that change as the sun goes down, very pretty. The helicopter flight was fun - went over the east and north rims and got told a bit of the history, geology and names of things. Oh - we saw a moose!!! Very exciting stuff! And a snake - not so exciting...
Then we did a looong drive via Lake Havasu thru the desert to Anaheim, OC :) It was exciting just being there so close to disneyland - really is the happiest place on earth - you have to be happy being that close to 'where all your dreams come true'. We were able to see the fireworks that night from our hotel (block and half away from Disneyland)... then the next day we were in the line at 7.30 ready for the 8am entrance... It was a mere 15 - yes FIFTEEN -hours later that we left - hardly had a break all day - was sooooo much fun! Went on nearly all the rides from the Indiana Jones jeep adventure, to Spash Mtn (very scary I thought - and you can tell in the photo as i am screaming), the nemo submarine and a fantastic starship ride! Now we are in LA... Doing a tour tomorrow of the area - seeing the hollywood sign, rodeo drive, sunset blvd, venice beach, etc etc... Mum leaves tomorrow night at 9pm and then I am off to Germany the next morning...
Looking forward to the Black Forest again - altho havent got anything organised - eek! And will be catching up ith a girl from my galapagos trip while i am there too which is exciting!
Anyway that is all the news for now :)
Take care.
