Good-byes

Posted on by

The last day of the Rocky Mountain High tour … day of good-byes …

The first good-bye was silent … we were greeted by a new van this morning … Kelly had exchanged the old one (without working air-con) with another one (with somewhat working air-con).

The first actual good-bye was for Las Vegas; on the way out we stopped at the famous sign at the South end of the Strip for a photo opportunity.

From here we continued into California – towards the Pacific and Los Angeles. On the way to the hotel we had a stop in Hollywood and some time to check out Hollywood Blvd … before it was time for final good-byes.

I ended up doing my own thing on our full day in Las Vegas … I kicked it off at the Atomic Testing Museum around midday and then made my way to the Las Vegas Strip for an extended walk to get a closer look at the casinos.

Our stop after Zion was infamous Las Vegas, NV.

We left Zion straight after the others returned from the hike; obviously it was a pretty quiet ride over to Vegas – with not more than a gas and a lunch stop on the way. Once in Vegas the first point of interest was an outlet mall – before we were heading for our hotel (right – no camping here … first night in a bed for weeks) and showers.

We met up again in the evening to go into town for dinner at the Bellagio buffet. I was still not in perfect shape, so made it back to the hotel after dinner – while most of the others continued with the night out Vegas-style.

We arrived in the late afternoon of the 4th in Las Vegas, enough time to get fresh and have a great night out.
We had a late start the next morning, went into town for lunch buffet in the Bellagio – afterwards we had a crazy taxi drive to the Circus Circus for bungy jumping.
The next activity also took us high up – we went on top the Stratosphere tower, afterwards we walked the strip – pure Las Vegas amazement.
