The Road to Vegas

This morning (Monday 6th August) we went for a morning shoot with Alan from the motel. It was pretty cool. We fired a couple of pistols and a shotgun too.  The recoil on the shotgun was huge!

After that we drove toward Vegas and stopped at the Hoover Dam en route. Spectacular feat in engineering and great to see in the flesh so to speak.  At this point the temperature outside had got to 112 degrees Fahrenheit - see photo. Then when we were leaving it was up at 116!

After that we finished the last bit of the journey heading into Vegas in some serious traffic (although it moves quickly). Luckily the Bellagio entrance is very close to where we entered so it was quick. Finding a parking space wasn't as quick! However, fifteen minutes later we had one.  The hotel room is really nice and includes among other things a big flatscreen tv and curtains and blinds that you can draw by pressing a button by the bed!  The walk in shower could fit about four people in, and there's a bath too.

We're now back at the Bellagio having eaten a sumptuous steak dinner at Smith & Wollensky's. Zonked so we're going to bed - I think tomorrow is just going to be a relaxed one by the pool.
