    Laughlin to Lake Havasu City

    October 20, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Our day started with another first. Ron and I both have never jet skied, and originally wern't going to choose this tour option as we didnt think it would be for us. But curiosity got the better of us, and we gingerly headed down to the dock early at 9am and where it was already a mild 26 degrees. After completing the many disclaimers and contracts signing over our lives, as well as everything we own, we were soon being drilled with the safety talk, not once but twice!
    Finally we were escorted to our new 2023 model Jet Ski's and released into to wild waters of the Colorado river.
    As we were sharing, of course let Ron try first so I could learn from any of his mistakes. We cruised up to check out the damn and then headed down river where I was soon offered to give it a go. And give it a go I did, scaring the living daylights out of Ron 😂. But hey if your going to try something new, you may as well give it your all right! Before he could say slow down, I had us turning in circles and jumping wakes. Our trusty leader, Andy instructed us to follow him as there were some very shallow parts of the river, so follow him I did. If he snaked it, then I was right behind following and snaking as told. Im good like that 👍. We weaved and turned and after he gave us a few soakings to cool us down, he challenged me to a race as we headed back. Well I couldn't turn that down and disappoint could I, and I was only a wisker behind at the finish line. I reckon, if I wasnt doubling, I would a smoked him. 😆
    Ron was hanging on for dare life and calling me a mad women. 🙉🤣😂🤣
    After so much fun it was time to head to our next destination of Lake Havasu City. A quick stop at Walmart for our recommended essential bandanas(thanks Tracy Langley), and if we wanted, we could've even bought ourselves a gun😮 for a few hundy!
    As we arrived at check in my golden carriage was waiting and from there, I soon found myself in our crystal elevator heading up to our suite where we will "suffer", the next three nights.Thanks Andy great choice. Must be my reward for letting him win 🏁 this morning.
    We then joined the lovely locals from the Lake Havasu Rods and Relics show for dinner, before wandering along the river and crossing London Bridge to check out the area😍. She's a bit rough here, 38 degrees 😎🏰, but we'll make do 🥰.
    Time to turn in early, as tomorrow we hit the Rod Show in the morning and then take on the dusty desert tracks in the afternoon for a spot of off roading. Might have to throw down a challenge or two so I can redeem my 2nd place from today.
