River Valley Suites Bullhead City

If you are reading this, and we warned you not to, here is why....<br><br>When we left the Grand Canyon we drove for a few hours that night and stayed in lovely Needles, California, right on the border of Arizona. So thats it, just where we slept for the night, before we headed up to Yosemite National Park.<br><br>We just wanted our map to be accurate, hence the reason for this post.<br><br>Till Yosemite, a real post you can read.<br><br>Nic and Jess<br>

... most. P&#345;ehrada i hráz je nádherná &#8211; voda je syt&#283; modrá (i kdy&#382; ne jak Mono Lake, taky tahle voda se m&#283;ní na pitnou a zásobuje nap&#345;. Vegas nebo LA) a na okolních skalách je vid&#283;t, jak je hlavina nízko. Sv&#283;tlá hráz tvo&#345;í krásnej kontrast. Procházíme po obou stranách, který znamenají dva státy &#8211; Nevadu a Arizonu, kocháme se pohledy do hluboké propasti pod náma a fotíme ...

We picked up the RV today in Los Angeles, it's fantastic. A 32 foot (10m) home on wheels with 3 beds, shower, toilet, air conditioner, stove and fridge. This will be my home for the next 21 days.<br>We are headed to Northern Arizona (Bullhead City, AZ) tonight. Boy is it hot, 108F (30+ celcius).<br>

... uncle!!!! We have a number of want-to-dos on our list but they are being postponed for the moment. I am working on an item for a 'wearable art' competition entry that I didn't find time to complete before departure. Don on the other hand has discovered Wilbur Smith's book 'River God'. For anyone who hasn't read this series, we recommend it. Today we decided to make another road trip. Quartzsite is on our to-do ...

... the tower - very scarry. We went back to the Wynn to see another Cirque Du Soleil show "Le Reve" which was similar to "O" featuring a 1 million gallon pool doubling as a stage where diving, dancing, acrobatics and dancing mixed with music and lighting was very entertaining. We finished with a Japanese meal at "The Venetian" - wouldn't be dead for quids!!!!!

... as a poo trowel. Staging and restaging photos using rocks as tripods. I couldn't believe the crazies that left at 1 a.m. And I remembered tripping and falling, nearly tumbling down the hillside. Pooing in a hole. People hopping off the helicopter, having a smoke, and hopping on a horse. Living off of beef jerky and Cliff bars. All on this one short adventure.

Later that evening, we carried our sore bodies, now much lighter without the weight of the packs, up the hill to Havasu Falls, the destination of campers young and old alike. At first we watched - young kids sitting along the edge of a ridge over which water from the falls flowed into the stream that runs alongside the campground, an older couple walking along the ...

... I hadn't realised just how big the hotels are. CC had two carparks, a full permanent big top which housed the indoor theme park, a number of casino areas, the usual restaurants and bars, a shopping arcade and two towers of hotel rooms. To give you an idea of size, we were in room 17747! What's more, this was by no means the biggest hotel on the strip. The newer places (The Bellagio, Paris and New York, New York) have even more with rides, fountains, whole indoor ...

... the concrete - we will not forget to wear our sandals right to the edge of the pool! (4) Two air conditioners running full time can just about keep up against the relentless sun and heat beating on the outside of the "home". (5) When most everyone in North America would be deciding that it's too cool to put the top down on their convertible, we have determined that it's too HOT to put the top down on the convertible!

We started the day off by going to breakfast at an Italian Restaurant downstairs in the casino area. The name of it was Il Fornaio, very northern Italian food and very tasty! The waiters were all authentic Italian adding to the atmosphere. The restaurant has a beautiful patio area overlooking the casino with a stream running by. Definitely a must-go place again! We decided to go to see Zumanity, a risqué show created by Franco Dragone, the creator of the Cirque du Soleil ...
