Canyonlands, San Diego and Los Angeles photos

Just a quick note to say that the last of our photos from our awesome trip around the USA are up on the web. This bumper edition comes to you in the form of not one but two flickr albums!

Canyonlands – Photos from Zion and Bryce national parks in Utah, Grand Canyon national park in Arizona and Joshua Tree national park in California. We really loved Zion and Bryce, and managed to reorganise our schedule a little (dropping Monument Valley, unfortunately) so that we could get to hike into the famous Zion Narrows. The water was only a few degrees, so we had to hire dry suits.

San Diego to LA – After the canyons, we stayed in San Diego for a few days to see the zoo. We also saw the USS Midway, which is an aircraft carrier permanently based there. The tour of the Midway was really interesting! After San Diego, it was off to LA for Disneyland, Universal Studios, scientology, mexican food and a stunning sunset over Malibu. Not to mention the House of Pie.

I might come back and fill in some of the details of our US trip, because looking at these photos is making me nostalgic. It was our favourite section of the whole trip-o-rama, we really loved our time exploring the country.
