We are all having a fantastic time. Our trip from Lake Isabella to Las Vegas yesterday was fabulous. We travelled up and down - from 2000ft to 5000ft, down to 1000ft, up to 5000 ft, and down to 200ft below sea level (Death Valley), to 4000ft and then down to 1000ft ... and Vegas!! All in a 30ft long RV, and the V12 - and the driver - got a workout!!! The desert was fascinating! It changed so frequently, with the plants changing, colours in the rocks, the absolute vastness of it - awesome! A photographers haven! Death Valley was incredibly interesting.
We arrived in Las Vegas earlier than we expected, at about 3.30, and once settled in we headed into town. Everyone's jaw was dropping - especially Sophia's! Her face was a picture! It's a wonder that Nicholas's eyes weren't out on stalks too actually, but he's learning to have a poker face! Emily was 'noticed' by several "interesting" males - what a hoot!!! Emily and Nicholas were both shocked and amused that a female at the neighbouring table (when we had dinner) was mimicking me eating (with both a knife and fork) - pity I didn't notice or I could have really had some fun!!!!!! Of course, they don't eat with the same utensils here. I think it is ever so funny myself!
The Valencia Hotel, with the Venice replica was absolutely mind-blowing. Nigel, having been to the actual place, but having also watched the doco about the hotel's construction, was also impressed. It is complete with gondolas!!! We absolutely loved the La Reve show last night - it defies description really. The theatre was incredibly, performed in water - it is worth having a look on-line, and seeing a taste of what we experienced. Well worth the investment!!! We finally got to bed at midnight, very tired!
We are all more than a little gobsmacked that there has been a massive earthquake. It is something we joked about alot prior to coming here - and now look what's happened. We may have felt it here, but because it was very windy, and the van moves around alot in the wind, we wouldn't have noticed it. We're about to go shopping, have another look around, then head into some of the complexes to be gobsmacked again!!!!! Fiona and Nigel
