A great wonder of the world and I get to see it! This trip has turned out to be a true adventure of discovery and exploration. On route to Arizona we took a detour to Hoover Dam, which is a man made dam in Nevada and Arizona. It was a wow moment to look over the edge and see the massive body of water below.

We decided to keep on our merry way and turned on the GPS which was meant to take us there…unfortunately she seemed very lost, and I felt uneasy shouting at the voice in my car, so I convinced Nina to change the voice to a man’s, still unsatisfied we decided to allow the voice of Austin Powers to accompany us along the journey. He was just as lost as generic female voice, however… he was definitely more amusing!

The road to Williams was pretty fun and once we were cruising down Route 66 I was certain this next part would feel just like in the movies! Once we reached Williams we parked the car and strolled around the small town, and sat down for a wonderful diner-style meal.

After we managed to check into our hotel (which was repping the SA rand!) we headed towards the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. We parked the car and headed to the bus stop. The bus took us to Pima Point (I think) where we got to watch the sunset - it was A.MAZING!

After the wonderful sunset we caught the bus back to our car, which took 45 minutes and then another 10 minutes to find our car. It was pitch black by now and with no lights in the parking lot we figured the only way to find your car is to jump in the air (yes, jump) and press the unlock button…don’t ask, just test it.

Back to the hostel and I figured out that all the lights are on a senor! This was both awesome and partly annoying. We heated up our left over’s and had our second hot meal for the day. After researching our route for the next day, as well as uploading and downloading and whatever else-ing pictures we were ready for bed!
