I had a good night sleep despite having to climb down the ladder in the middle of the night for a wee.

It was such a beautiful place to camp. We had breakfast  overlooking the reflections  on the lake.

We stopped in the little town of Williams to top up with fuel, coffee and some Elvis photos.

We arrived at the Grand Canyon around lunchtime and did a walk along the rim. There were afternoon thunder storms and rain so the view wasn’t as spectacular as other times we’ve been here, but it was cool watching the lightning over the canyon.

We had a nice quiet campsite in the Mather campground near the main part of the canyon. There are Elk wandering around the campsite.

We spent a heavy downpour in the van playing monopoly which was fun. Then we went and watched the sun set behind the clouds over the canyon.

It was dark when we got back to camp so we lit a fire and cooked a tuna pasta in the dark. It was yummy, but a bit freaky eating it in the dark, worrying about spiders falling out of the trees into our food.

I’ll put some more photos up later.

P.S. for Liz or Heather – There is no phone reception here which is why Susan hasn’t phoned home yet.
