If you have found your way here, this is the main blog page. A wonderful list of my inane ramblings and photography from our holidays around the world and road trips across America. There may be even one or two useful posts hidden within, but I’m making no promises.
Enjoy
Grand Canyon to Winslow AZ
We headed out of the Grand Canyon Village relatively early still slightly disappointed at the village ( but not the canyon i must add) and headed towards to Winslow
Monument Valley Grand Canyon
Another day and another iconic scene and one of the seven wonders of the world – The Grand Canyon in Arizona. After breakfast overlooking Monument Valley we
Sante Fe to Monument Valley
Today’s drive to Monument Valley was a long one. We started the day with a drive up a windy mountain road to visit Los Alamos, a town that once held a very dark secret
A day of rest in Santa Fe
We had a lie in this morning as we didn’t have to drive anywhere – BLISS !! It wasnt much of a lie in but was nice not getting up and having to repack the bags and head to the car.
Tucumcari to Santa Fe
When i was first researching where we were going to go on route 66 i came across the following video about a ghost town called Cuervo. It sounded so “American Detective” or “Twin Peaks” i just had to make a pull in off the I40 to check it out.

Getting out of St Louis was slightly easier than getting in. We still managed to make several wrong turns before finding route 66 towards Cuba and heading for our first stop of the day
Springfield to St Louis
After a heavy night on the beer with an American couple last night and a short walk to see Abraham Lincoln’s childhood house and other period houses we finally left the strange town of Springfield Illinois to head to St Louis.
