On a quité Vegas tot pous se rendre au grand canyon vers les deux heures. Après avoir passé les affixhes pour hoover dam, on s'est dit qu'il fallait pas manquer ca. Pas mal cool, c'est très imprésionant. A part de la mrveille d'enginerie, on a vu deux "desert sheep" une tortue et plein de carpes géantes. Dans le beau p'tit village de Boulder, je suis arrèter chez un barbier. Il m'a traité a toute une coupe de cheveux. Sara m'appel private Alex maintenant. Le barbier viens d'ici mais a un camp de pêche en Alaska. Il m'a montré tout ses photos de pêche au saumon et au Halibut. Il monte chaque année en Juin. A kingman, on a pris la "Historical route 66". C'était comme ètre sur une autre planète. Tout était figé dans les annés ... read more

Barbara Has returned home. Weather and flood derailed the week RVing in Australia. David is doing train travel across Australia now. Decided to give you a final message and pictures on our time in New Zealand. After leaving the thermal pools in the Waikite Valley we headed north past Auckland. Rained most of the day, but turned nice as we approached Whangarei on the northeast coast of the North Island. Relaxed the rest of the day in a very nice, small, family-owned campground located only about 500 m from a beautiful waterfall.

Kauri trees are very old (many 500 years or older), but disappearing in New Zealand with only a few protected areas left. We should not have ... read more

We are now home. Planned to do a posting when we got to London, but the hotel we were in charged 15 pounds per day for internet which we didn't pay. Most of our other stops were free or charged from 3-6 euro per day so this was a shock. We completed our canal experience on July 15. Overall it was a great experience. Beautiful countryside and fascinating to work the locks. Have lots to share with everyone when we get home. The weather was somewhat less than desirable - in the mid 60's most days, lots of clouds and only a few days with no rain at all. Four days pretty much had rain on and off all day. They provide slickers with the boat so this was not unusual weather. In fact, it explains ... read more

Hi Everyone, Today we went to Hoover Dam, Kids liked it a lot. We went down 500+ feet into the dam and went into the generator room on the Nevada side, and we went into the diversion pipe line cave that houses the huge pipe. We had enough water flowing under us, they said it would fill a olympic size swimming pool in one minute. You could feel the rumbling under your feet, pretty powerful. We then went up and walked to Arizona for the fun of it. Took pictures of the Dam and the new extension bridge that is being built for traffic to use so they have better flow to Arizona. We cruised the Old down town strip, now called the Freemont Experience. Then we cruised the new Las Vegas strip. We stopped at ... read more
