Nautical Inn Resort 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.

We made it out of Vegas. A good thing since the money extraction process was getting terminal. Felt great to get on the road again. Our travels took us to Lake Havasu, which we plan to jet-ski on tomorrow.

The people here seem really friendly and interested to know why we are here and where we have stopped off on the way. I don't think many of the locals ...

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.

... už je pěkná výheň, takže na mostě umístěný pítka nám několikrát přijdou vhod.

Pak vyrážíme na jih skrz Mohavská poušť. Nechci říct, že je to nezajímavá nebo dokonce nudná cesta, protože krajina se mění, kolem jsou porosty juky (joshua tree), který tady opravdu dorůstají rozměrů stromu, kolem nás se otevírají skály a hory ...

After a great lunch, we rehearsed in front ...

... the lamp posts were made from melted down wreckage from the German bombers/fighters that were shot down during the war. We actually came back to the bridge at night to look at the Christmas lights on the bridge and to see the "Festival of Light". Maybe I am too jaded, but the light show was laughable. It consisted of the lights blinking to Christmas tunes along the shore of the English village.

Our journey to LA was too long to do in one day so we stopped off at Lake Havasu to get some rest and have a bit of a relax.

Upon arrival, we got cold beers to counteract the 116 degree heat outside!!

Apparently, the bridge over the river here is actually an old original London Bridge (not the one that burnt down) and an American nutcase bought it and transported it brick by brick to the States as an attraction.

Once ...

... Havasu City (or Lake Have a sue as locals say it). This city on the shore of Lake Havasu is the venue to a little known trivia fact that I discovered a few years ago now that made me want to come here. It is the site of the original London Bridge. A rich guy bought the original bridge back in the 1960s and had it transported back to Arizona piece by piece where upon it was rebuilt in its original form. It is now crossing a part of the Lake. I had to explain to Vaughan that ...
