Roadtrip to the Grand Canyon!

After celebrating the end of the project and buying some superglue for my trainers, plus new socks in Wal-Mart, I was left with a couple of days before my next project. A group was heading to Grand Canyon and I decided it was now or never and so joined the two car convoy to the famous landmark. Cruising America's roads is crazy - the roads are long, stretching out as far as you can see, and you can drive along one for a half hour before actually passing another car. It was about a two hour drive to the Grand Canyon National Park. We were starving and looking for somewhere to eat. An old shack by the road selling handmade jewellery offered us beef jerky for $12, thinking better of this we waited and eventually found a food bar -that grilled cheese was worth the wait! After eatting we headed out to the main lookout at the South Rim by the watchtower before driving to random lookouts along the way to the trail we had decided to do.

The annoying thing about walking a trial at the Grand Canyon, is its all down-hill going and uphill on the return which meant we went further down than perhaps we should've as I was completely knackered by the time we made it back up - luckily it was in time to see the sunset on the rocky landscape which was beautiful. There was just time for a last food stop - this time some choclate pudding (basically chocolate mousse) before heading back to Flagstaff. It was fanstastic to finally see the Canyon in all it's grand-ness!
