Unseasonable weather, very cold . Bags out by 6.30am and we left at 7:30. First stop today is a visit to Sedona, a center for Southwestern and New Age arts. The weather-sculpted formations of dramatic, color-tinted crags rock around Sedona were stunning. For lunch we had a super duper sandwich which was recommended by Judy which was not disappointing. Then pass by the San Francisco Mountains and beautiful pine forests to the South Rim of the GRAND CANYON. Simply amazing but was freezing. I walked around for a while but it was too cold for me, I returned back to the centre and wait for Silvana to finish the walk . Overnight in Williams, a picturesque mountain town with Route 66 as the main street. The Grand Canyon Railway which is over 100years old.

We had early start on the road, took route 66 to Seligman's Angel & Wilma's Gift Shop. Met Delgadillo Angel. Cross the old Mojave gold-strike Delgadillo, that still has traces of century-old ghost towns set in the natural desert beauty. Look out for Joshua trees, a species of the lily family that grows to 40 feet high and can live for more than 300 years. Lunch at Subway and to Hoover Dam. Today’s destination is the man-made phenomenon in the Nevada desert that is Las Vegas, a fantastic city of feverish gambling, neon lights, and glamorous shows.
In Vegas we went to Pampas Brazilian Grille foe dinner, Vegas Show and walked to Fremont Street downtown.

MONTEREY–17-MILE DRIVE–CARMEL–SOLVANG

Today, you’ll take in spectacular 17-MILE DRIVE. Watch Pacific Ocean waves en route to Carmel on Carmel Bay. Nestled in a pine forest, the one-square-mile village of Carmel is incredibly dynamic, yet still quaint and picturesque. Afterward, on to Solvang, where Denmark has been recreated with picturesque buildings and windmills. There’s time to walk the flower-lined village streets and enjoy the “Old World” architecture. Tasty bakery treats and perhaps a Danish smorgasbord for dinner all add to the unique experience.
