Shortly before the end of the tour on Saturday/Sunday, my personal highlight was on the program: the Grand Canyon. We spent 2 days there, because the park is huge! Saturday morning started a bit chaotic, as the driver was convinced that we were already in a different time zone. So we all stood around for an hour, only he was late. But most of us took it easy.
We arrived around noon and visited the Grand Canyon from the 'edge', hiked for a while, and were then picked up by Dave for the helicopter flight. It was such an amazing experience! I sat next to the pilot and had a great view. And the feeling of floating in the air... simply wonderful. The flight lasted about 45 minutes.
In the evening, we had Mexican food again (hihi), to strengthen ourselves for the next day.
We set the alarm for 5:00 because we had been advised that hiking after 10 am is not recommended, too hot... We chose a hike that was supposed to take 3-5 hours according to the plan, but in the end, we finished in 2 hours and 20 minutes including several stops 😋 So we walked a little along the 'rim' and ate at a delicious restaurant. We rested and enjoyed the comfortable room in the afternoon and evening 😄
