London Bridge Resort & Convention Center Lake Havasu City

If you are reading this, and we warned you not to, here is why....

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.

We just wanted our map to be accurate, hence the reason for this post.

Till Yosemite, a real post you can read.

... have been much further than some of the further away states, so seem pretty excited to talk to a 'Real European'.

We're staying in a motel which smells of either urine or bad cleaning products....Nice. Though it does have a mini spa outside, about 2 meters squared.

We wound up the day at a local Chinese restaurant, who were again real excited to meet some ...

Enroute to Grand Canyon, we made a quick pit-stop at Lake Havasu City, to break the journey and to visit the original London Bridge. The City of London sold the bridge to the founder of Lake Havasu and it was dismantled in the UK and reassembled in the USA brick by brick. The bridge looks just like the one in London, just more pristine.

Urban legend has it that the silly American actually intended to purchase Tower Bridge, but thought that it was called London Bridge.

... pouště. A taky tu mají skvělou zmrzlinu.

Další cesta je ještě míň zajímavá až do Needles, který stojí na břehu Colorada a tím pádem tu je snad několik desítek RV parků. Bohužel většina je pro členy nebo za šílený prachy. Nakonec nám v jednom dají tip na sousední levný a tam zůstáváme. Mají tu úžasnej bazén. Víc už fotky...

... the cast for stepping up and performing their hearts out tonight. We were performing extra hard for Rafa, our video and technical manager. He's from Brazil and tonight was his last show ever with UWP. We will miss him dearly and miss him all the luck in the world on his future endeavors.

I'm going to forewarn all of you that the next part of this entry is lengthy. On Tuesday this week, some members of our cast gave a presentation on human rights. It had a profound impact on me and ...

... Concordia (in 2007, I believe) and was so appreciative that she came to the show.

Some of you have been asking how you may reach in when I'm promoting the show in Veracruz. The following is my address for the next three weeks in Veracruz, Mexico:

... time we had walked into the English village, we were melting! We walked down to London Bridge (The actual London Bridge as per the song!) as it was purchased in the 60s for $2 million, but it cost $4.5 million to ship it over to the US and reconstruct it again! Checked out the English pub but as it was a Sunday night it was shut so we headed back to the motel

... what I thought was the London Bridge is actually the Tower Bridge in London. There is a rumor that Robert McCulloch also thought he was purchasing the Tower Bridge. The other reason probably has to do with the fact that we are here during the off-season. Of course I am puzzled how 70 degree weather in December constitutes an off-season, but I believe the peak season is in March when the ...

... smile when you passed them in the hallways of the hotel, such is the relaxed feel that everyone on Spring Break has. We don't expect Spring Break to disrupt our trip too much but it may affect our ability to get hotels in popular destinations as we haven't booked every night of our trip - flexability is programmed in to the POD travel experience. And so when leaving Las Vegas we headed to the mecca of modern engineering marvels in Hoover Dam. Now if you're thinking this is ...

... pull into Russ & Rita's place. Gerry met Russ last year at the Texas VW Classic and got an invite for us here. Russ has a '78 Baja Bus, white, looking like on steroids, see the posted pics. Another couple, Bob & Pam, from Delta BC with a BIG RV are here along with Gerry, Rita & I. They have a few acres here which they have turned into an informal, unadvertised camp ground for travellers such as us. Full hook ups, showers and laundry for $10/nite. Not to shabby. We spend a few hours ...
