Blogs from Lake Powell, Arizona, United States, North America - page 2

Een hele dag hier aan het water, heerlijk. Gisteravond nog lang buitengezeten bij het vuurtje, biertje erbij en lekker eten. Tom en zijn vader (uit Bussum) kwamen nog langs en we hebben leuke adressen uitgewisseld. Vanmorgen zijn we vroeg opgestaan, meteen zwemkleding aan en zo naar het zwembad. Heerlijk in de zon en schaduw een dagje rusten van het reizen en genieten van het uitzicht. Morgen rijden we vroeg weg omdat we toch willen proberen tickets voor de Wave te krijgen, dan zijn we ook al op weg naar Bryce Canyon, tot later dus!!... read more

Most of our time in Lake Powell / Glen Canyon was spent having fun either by the pool or on the lake. We hired a speedboat for a few hours. Given that the lake is about 185 miles long, we didn’t get very far along it. This wasn’t helped by the fact that we spent all our time having endless fun going up and down the lake, pulling an inflatable behind us with one child or another desperately trying to hang on to it. It was great for those like us with no boating experience as, after a safety briefing and overview of the boat controls, we were allowed to go our own way. Apparently all the boats had been booked solid for the rest of August, so we need to get there at 7.00am and ... read more

le 10 aout, nous passons la journée dans le coin de Page, près du barrage "Glen Canyon" Dam. Nous partons tôt de notre plage et testons un nouveau système permettant de démarrer la journée plus tôt : je roule et les enfants restent au lit peinards. apparemment ça secoue trop pour dormir arrivée au visitor center. portes closes. pourtant il est passé 8heures, l'heure d'ouverture. Explication : on vient de passer en Arizona et il y a une heure de décalage avec l'Utah. aprés avoir reservé une visite du barrage l'après-midi direction Antelope Point de l'autre coté de Page pour louer des kayaks. _ plus de kayaks à louer, plus rien à louer, d'ailleurs - direction un coin à baignade à Antelope Point et quelques heures très sympa : le gros rocher lisse qui se jette ... read more

Ken got up earlier than me—he has an 8 am appointment to get the truck checked out, make sure it is OK. When you pulling 6000 lbs behind you, you don’t want to break down. I got up around 7:30 and now I’m sitting outside drinking my latte. It’s 87 degrees already, but I’m in shade so it is comfortable. The view of the lake is so pretty. There are a few boats on it already. I can’t help thinking about how Jason and his family were supposed to be here with us at Lake Powell. They would have loved it. April had to work so they couldn’t come. There actually is a nice cool breeze here in the shade. I know it won’t stay this way. ... read more
