Today we drive through monument valley, past the bit on Forrest Gump when he turned around. Lots of people had stopped to recreate the photo. Not us though as I’ve never seen the film.

We continued to the valley of the gods which was incredible. We drove 17 miles along a dusty red track, surrounded by crazy rock formations. There were plenty of free camping places, but most of them were close to the road, and I wasn’t keen on having dust kicked up on us.

We continued the loop, then got some petrol, then found an amazing campsite at the start of the loop trail, overlooking the valley of the gods. It was incredible.

We cooked up a chicken and potato stew.
