Awesome two days

Hallo

Sunday Me Owe and Jeal went to the Grand Canyon. The drive said 2.5 hours but it took us 4, they were repaving the 20 mile stretch leading to the canyon so that was a dirt/gravel track where you couldnt go over 20mph realistically! Once there we got a coach thing to "Eagle point" which is where the skywalk is (we didnt go on) but has some amazing views nonetheless. What i found amazing is that there were no barriers! You could literally slip one step and fall into the thing, with zero chance of survival given the size. Weird.
The next (and last) stop was a weird name i can't remember but had even better views. There was a big rock hill thing in the middle which you could climb at your own risk (the other side = big canyon, hello death) so of course we climbed it. and filmed it. lol. was awesome at the top though, crazy scenery. Then went home after a delicious nutritious burger king (I have eaten so much bad food this week its unreal.)

Today we went to Lake Mead and got out a powerboat + wakeboard+ tube for the day. Was probably the most fun day ive had here, although i can't wakeboard to save my life...or swim for that matter. Alas the tube was fun though, you literally hang on and then go 20-30mph through the water trying not to fall off. I bit a lump out of my mouth, but asides from that was unharmed!

This evening we headed to the strip and looked round the Wynn casino which was really nice, is prob the most expensive casino on the strip. It had blackjack tables with $500 minimums in public view which was pretty crazy. I then went shopping as owe and rich played poker and jeal/mario chilled, managing to get lost in the forum shops at cesears along the way! V expensive everywhere though :(
On the upside had a % in rich who won the tournament at TI, ship!

Will probably do a final post on thursday, we leave friday so that will be it.
