DAY 27 : 7 JUNE 2001 Grand Canyon, USA The Weakest Link! Our day for hiking the Canyon was beautiful and sunny. Loaded up with water & provisions, the 13 of us set off along the endless switchbacks, however the pace proved to be a little too hurried for four of us and we decided to form the �Weakest Link� hiking group! The day�s activities were rounded off with a wonderful Grand Canyon sunset and lots of happy snapping. |

DAY 31 : 11 JUNE 2001 Las Vegas, USA Luxor luxury Groans of delight echoed around the Motel 8, Las Vegas, as we went wild over our rooms, 5 star-like compared to our modest tents! That evening, the sheer excitement of being in the gaudy gambling capital of the US infected us all, as we drew up to the incredible Luxor Hotel where we tested out the theory of the �all-you-can-eat� buffet! Even more exciting was the surprise awaiting us after the meal - a ride around Las Vegas in a stretch limo, during which champagne and jelly beans and posing with the city�s firemen proved to be pleasant extras! |
