We had a middle-aged women as our waitress who made everything very fancy due to her French accent and ability to carry large amounts of plates at the one time. Bloody impressive […]

View Larger Map Well, this wasn’t we had planned for Day 2 of the trip. Harry and I waited around in Death Valley for Paul from Las Vegas Eagle Rider to turn up. And that he did at 12.30 after a 4 hour drive from Vegas (sorry Paul!). It was into the big Eagle Rider […]
