When in Vegas it would be wrong not to go to the Grand Canyon so being the tourists we are we booked a trip...
If we'd known it ws going to be this beautiful we might not have sooked so much about getting up at 5.30am to go on our Grand Canyon helicopter flight!
We thought that if you're going to do the trip you might as well do it in style... Here we are in the limo that picked us up to take us to the airport!

Classy headphones! We had this funky as music playing for our trip. While we were waiting to go we were listening to the Austin Powers theme (pretty pimp for 6am) followed by the Top Gun theme while we were taking off - hilarious!
The view of Vegas - ya can't miss Trump Towers!
If you haven't been to Vegas and can't believe the stories of how big it all is then check this out - this photo was taken 20mins away from Vegas by chopper! Its just a big blot in a desert...
And here is the Hoover Dam on Lake Mead. This is a man made lake that they then dammed. It might look familiar cause its featured in loads of movies, Fools Rush In is the only one I can think of right now...
The Grand Canyon!
You may or not heard about the controversary surrounding the Skywalk over the Canyon. Well here is what all the fuss is about - that tiny thing in the middle is the Skywalk built by the Native people for tourism purposes. Its a big glass horseshoe shaped thing that hangs over the edge of the Canyon.
Actually standing in the Canyon!
This is where we stopped for a champagne breakfat.
It just keeps on going...
Early morning in the Canyon, god it was cold!
The Crew freezing in the Canyon - taken by a crazy Japanese dude! It was voted best photo of our trip!

Wish we had time to go to Vegas and the Grand Canyon when I'm over! Perhaps the four of us will have to do a trip over to the States sometime!
