Eigentlich hätte der Titel dieses Blogeintrages "Und zum Frühstück bitte einmal Pringles Chips" lauten sollen, schließlich war es dieses typische und uns allen bekannte "knacken" das entsteht wenn man genüsslich Chips verzehrt, das mich am frühen Morgen eher unsanft weckte. Frühstückte die Bea doch tatsächlich Pringles Chips mit Cheddar Cheese …

Vandaag wakker geworden en ontbeten bij het hotel! In het hotel lekker geslapen in de grote kamer voor ons doen. We zijn eerst begonnen met wassen, ik zeg we maar ik bedoel Laurens. De hele badkuip lag vol kleding, te wachten op een handwasschoonmaak beurt. Hup kachel opstoken in de hotelkamer in plaats van airco en drogen maar. Daarna zijn we …

Het is vandaag woensdag de 9e juli. Als ik dit schrijf is het al weer avond. Eindelijk kom ik er toe om weer een verslag te schrijven. Er ontbreken nog verslagen van 3 tot 8 juli. De redenen zijn simpel. We hebben in deze periode geen internet gehad en wat vervelender was ik heb even in de lappenmand gezeten. Gelukkig is alles weer in orde en …

We'd given ourselves the luxury of staying two nights here, so as we didn't have to pack up and move on today we had a bit of a lie in.

We'd missed out on boat trips in several of our other stops for one reason or another and were really hoping this would be worth …

Om richting onze volgende bestemming te kunnen, moesten we eerst nog een deel door Grand Canyon National Park. Erg vervelend natuurlijk, aangezien we hierdoor nog meer nieuwe hoeken van de Grand Canyon konden zien. Vooral het eindpunt Desert View was erg weids en daardoor blijft het nog steeds indrukwekkend. Onderweg richting Page hebben we genoten …

After a cool and breezy night, we woke around 7am, had breakfast, packed up Odie and said our goodbyes to the kids' new friend, Eli, and his parents, Dave and Dawn whom we have exchanged email addresses with. They claim that they want to come to New Zealand someday and we said they are welcome to come and visit, we will see as NZ often is too far …

We just HAPPENED to be coming into Page, AZ on the day they hold their annual Hot Air Balloon Regatta - pretty amazing to see so many hot air balloons as we rolled into town (I don't know if I've EVER seen that many at one time! Brings back memories of seeing some on my parents' farm when I was growing up that came down from a festival in Waterloo …
