Thursday the 14th was a big day. We'd booked our trip to the Grand Canyon (via the internet, several weeks beforehand; another reason why I had to get on that plane !) and were being picked up from the tour lobby at 6.15am. We'd located it the night before so we wouldn't miss the bus.  

It was quite a walk from our room, being at the very back of the building. To get there we needed to walk along that long corridor you saw earlier (after coming down in the elevator, of course) and through the casino, (where some patrons had obviously spent the entire night) past the eateries and the theatres, down an escalator and through a convention hall.

The day was already shaping up to be a hot one, with a maximum predicted of 41C (106F).

 

 



First stop - Hoover Dam

















Continuing our journey, we made a brief stop at a home made chocolate shop
where we were offered a free sample. It was delicious, but in those temperatures,
we thought it unwise to stock up.


Our travels took us through a Joshua tree forest.


About three hours after leaving the hotel, we arrived at the Grand Canyon's
west rim where we prepared to board our chopper for the descent to the
Colorado River.
