The weather in the US has been appalling. In Las Vegas, the 5 year drought broke when we arrived and in Los Angeles, they have had the worst storms in 20 years, with mud slides all over the place. Last night, walking along Hollywood Boulevard, Linda and I were trying to read the stars names in the pavements, but there were too many puddles! Going to Disney or Universal Studios seems like madness in these conditions. So, we have decided to cut short our stay in the US and we will move on to Auckland 2 days earlier than planned, arriving on Sunday 24th January.
At least in Las Vegas there were things to do indoors, like gambling, shows and shopping. Linda bought some great shoes (see picture) (decisions, decisions, what colour should she buy??) and she also won on the tables - her luck is always better than mine. Somehow, we were in the front row for Bette Midler's show (she was incredible) and we went to see the Cirque du Soleil production of 'O' at the Bellagio.
From the pictures, though, you will see that the weather was not great. Really murky from our room and there appears to be a bit of a halo around the Eiffel Tower.
Please New Zealand, be kind to us, we need some sunshine and I want to send a picture of me in my shorts to Hendri
Oh thank you so much David. Must say... the shoes look great Linda, but you should not have to choose. You should have bought both.
