Steak Breakfasts & Poolside Bellinis

Well today has been the easiest so far. Apart from waking up with a banging headache mostly related to being blocked up (solved by Tylenol - America's paracetamol) it's been a relaxing day.  We ate breakfast at a cafe within the Bellagio. I finally braved it and ordered the steak breakfast (wimped out on this elsewhere) - one steak, three fried eggs, hash brown and two slices of toast. Emily's was a more sensible Eggs Benedict. Both were really nicely prepared and were great (albeit not exactly 8% material).

After fluffing around in the business centre using one of their computers to backup photos from the camera memory card onto em's iPod (luckily they let us use this for free) we had a quick look around the Jeff Mitchum shop - he's a famous landscape photographer of sorts. Really impressive photos. When you look at stuff like that you realise it totally puts your work to shame!

Then, we went to the pool. That was it. We just sat there and spent a bit of time in the pool, doing nothing. Nothing. And for once it was great. Em had a kind of mango bellini (tasted so good) and I had a beer.  It was so hot, but relaxing.

Just got back from dinner at an Australian style steak house. Healthiest meal we've ever had in America I think. Em had crab cakes and I had grilled chicken breast - they both had fresh veg with them. It was so crunchy and so good. Broccoli, courgette, mange tout, carrots - amazing!

We leave Vegas tomorrow morning headed for Yosemite. We're rested and ready for some hiking. However, first we have the five hour drive to contend with. We'll be stopping in death valley for a quick explore there en route.  We'll also be stopping on the way out of Vegas at the discount mall to try and get some more running trainers - had no luck so far which means no running here so far!

We'll put up another entry tomorrow if we have WiFi in our tent in Yosemite, lol.
