Same Shirt, Different day-2012 Adventures of the "Devonport Wonder Babes"

Saturday 5th May Initial plan had been to drive back through the National Park and into Nevada over the Tioga Pass but still closed from winter and turned out it would have been a 12 hour drive. So had to drive back down the road we had come up into mountains, on to Fresno, through Bakersfield, Barstow and on up to Las Vegas, about an 8 hour drive through the most incredibly boring desert landscape,that you could drive thru with eyes closed !! Arrived in Las Vegas about 4.30 pm, bit hair raising driving down Strip on late Saturday afternoon to our hotel with huge crowds walking around, but Lynds managed admirably. Our comfortable room in the Monte Carlo hotel was on 30th floor overlong the Strip, only wired intenet in room, wifi only available in coffee shops. Thought I might have a swim in the pool but filled with drunken young people, many with very large and garish tattoos, and pounding music, so gave that a miss. Then off to Belagio to watch the water show and eat a “too large portions” chinese dinner. Wandered around for couple of hours observing the wildlife on the strip and avoiding the pimps. Not a place I ever wish to return to.
