Vegas at night

Very, very tough night. I walked too much at the Canyon and dam. My pulled hamstring does not like walking very much at all. It is 13degC and it was windy and raining lightly. Not pleasant for an open top bus tour. I ordered an Uber to get me there in time. Unfortunately, I got dropped off in the wrong place. I had to hobble 3 blocks to get there, should have been 2, but google couldn't make its mind up. Just as I thought I wouldn't make it and would forfeit the expensive ticket, I saw the bus. Fuck the pain. I made it with a minute to spare 3rd last to board. They handed out ponchos, there was no room in the dry downstairs. I sat in the cold, windy, upstairs in a wet seat. Anyway, the view was interesting. The physical torture lasted 2 hrs. Luckily the visuals countered that. When the bus stopped I asked where the cab rank was. Can't do street pick ups in the city. I walked in the direction indicated and found it to be further than I was willing to walk. I noticed the huge globe light thing and knew the hotel was next to it. I may as well head to it than the unknown. I decided to walk in small stages. F'n agony. I got there eventually but just couldn't walk another 400m from reception to the building my room was in. It is a big place with 20 separate buildings. My room was at the back. A girl at reception got one of the valets to drive me. Bless her. They do it for the old folk cripples like me. I'm in my room, warming up and waiting for the painkillers to bite. I've skipped dinner, didn't feel like it. Long drive to the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains tomorrow. It's supposed to be one of the best drives in America.Read more
