Sunday 9th March
Today we got up early and went back to the canyon to check out some more of the different vantage points. We drove into the park and went to the visitor centre. We then decided to park the car and catch the bus to the many different lookout points. We spent around 3 hours walking around taking in the spectacular scenery and taking lots of photos. You had to catch the free buses around the park as you were not able to drive on all the roads. Once we had seen enough of the canyon we went back to the car and then headed east towards Cameron AZ. From Cameron we went north to a place called Tuba City. Had lunch at Tuba City and then headed further north to Page. Once we arrived in Page we found some cheap accommodation and then went for a drive around the town. We went to Walmart and I found a hairdresser inside the complex and I got a hair cut as I was overdue for one. Bought some stuff at Walmart and then went back to our room. Tomorrow we are heading for Monument Valley, it's around 200ks from hear. Monument Valley has all the red sandstone structures standing straight up 100's of feet from the flat desert surrounding them, kind of like from the road runner cartoons. Can't wait to see them as they look so cool in photos.

Hey Bronte and Richie, looks like you are having a great time. The photos are fantastic! You have done so much in so little time. $5 buck for a meal isn't bad. You can't even cook dinner for it!! :)

I can't wait to see and hear more about your trip. Adelaide is pretty boring compare to your adventures at the moment. And it is bloody hot!!! 9 straight days of over 38 degrees!!! :( Today makes it 10!!

Take care

Love
May-Mae
