Route 66 Up very early today and its still bloody hot! Grand Canyon here we come! We travel along Route 66, the roads are old and windy and it's not helping my anxiety, but I push on.

Liz is scared of heights so she didn't come out on the bridge but she did get pretty close to the edge! Even for somebody that isn't scared of heights though the glass bridge is quite unnerving. As I first went out and the cliff face just dropped away from me I did feel a little dizzy but as I walked further out I just found it absolutely amazing. The floor ... read more
