The Trip - Day 4

Today, we took an easy day. However, until about 14:00 we still had an activity: The helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon.
From the hotel we took a taxibus to the airport where the heli's were waiting for us.
After an instruction video, we all boarded the helicopters - 4 in total.

After some technical instructions by the pilot we were ready to take off...

The approximately 1 hour flight to the landing space in the Grand Canyon was breathtaking:

Landing Space
We had little time to explore the site, because we were offered a lunch at the hut shown above.

Blazingly hot, but great fun anyway!

The -almost- complete group...
The afternoon wasn't programmed. I took off with two others to the Stratosphere (the large tower at the end (or is it the beginning?) of The Strip. I didn't take my camera. Photo's will follow as soon as I have them.
We had a great diner in te Venetian to "end" our trip. During the rest of the evening we wandered around a little and finally met again in a bar, but what happened there.... Well, the saying goes: What happened in Vegas, stays in Vegas, and for some it may very well be better that way.... ;-)
Tomorrow we'll make an end to this extraordinary trip. We will be flying back home.
My battery is almost empty. We'll finish for today, and I may come back to conclude...
