Unfortunatly it was time to move on because it would of been great to spend some more time in Tucson.But the next destination was certainly going to be an eye opener and worth seeing.
We arrived at the Grand Canyon around 3.30pm and in plenty of time to catch the sunset.As we parked the car and i walked over to get my first ever look at the Canyon i just stood open mouthed for a few minutes before i managed to come to terms with how big it really is and of the views to,it certainly is mindblowing.
Also luckily for us we managed to get a late cancellation on a room within the Canyon grounds so we were able to to stay close which meant we could get up early to see the sunrise in the morning to.We checked into the hotel and then just about managed to catch the bus to take us to Hopi Point where we were going to see the sunset.The views were great as the sun went down although there were not really any clouds about and i think it would of looked alot more impressive if there had of been some.
As we were getting up at 5am for the sunrise it was an early night for me and by 11pm i was fast asleep.
