    This afternoon we went to a river to see if the salmon were running. We didn't see any. Apparently they should have started running up stream by now but the weather has been too warm. Still a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon just watching the world go by. Beautiful trees just starting to change to autumn colours.Read more

    Arrived at Las Vegas. OMG! .....what a bling, bling city. So many casinos. So many bright lights.
    Great views from our hotel room. We can see the French casino with the Eiffel Tower and the Roman one with the Colaseum. We are staying at the Mirage casino.

    Tonight we went to Cirque de Soleil The Beatles ^Love^. What a great show. Awesome choreography.
    We had awesome seats. In the middle and five rows from the front!
    This was also held here at the Mirage casino. Hence the reason we stayed here.
    Not allowed to take photos or videos of the show. After the show Graham and I had a little flutter in the casino.
    Don't worry....not tooooooo extravagant.

    This morning we leave Las Vegas and fly back to Los Angeles. What a maniac experience!
    Took some photos of the entrance of our hotel.
    Also did my first selfie with Mr Happy today......actually he wasn't too bad.
    Everywhere you go in these hotels you have to walk through the casino first....a bit like duty free at the airport.
    Never had a chance to see the other casinos. There was one shaped like a pyramid.
    Back in LA. Went for a drive down Hollywood Blvd......nothing much. Saw Chew Chew from Star Wars.

    Good bye USA. This is the end of our trip. Catching our flight back to good Ole NZ.
    We did an assessment of our trip while we were waiting for our flight. Some interesting observations.
    We used 17 modes of transport to tour the world. Everyone had different favourite places and different dissapointments. Quiet interesting.
    There is no place like home.
