Woke up ridiculously early again; stupid body clock still hasn’t adjusted yet. Unfortunately poo hotel also provided poo breakfast. Nothing better than a slice of toast that takes over 5 minutes to do and is covered in margarine.
We arrived at Arches NP early to beat the crowds and the park offered another wow experience. So much space for your eyes to stretch out and really appreciate the natural and beautiful arches. Unfortunately we didn’t get chance to visit the iconic ‘Delicate Arch’ but we did manage to spend a few hours with the ‘North and South Window’ and the ‘Double Arch’. I made sure I gave myself enough time to just sit and appreciate what hundreds and thousands of years has produced. One thing I didn’t expect when nature called however, was to be peeing in a shed into what looked like another Canyon below.
After Arches and a spot of lunch at Dennys we set off on our jeep tour of Canyonlands. Thank God for a decent pelvic floor! Again.. Lost for words. What made it more special was we were able to get up close and personal with the views we saw yesterday from Dead Horse Point. We were treated to dramatic landscapes, countless mesas and buttes, beautiful colours, gorgeous skies and of course, sunburn.
After the excitement of today we headed into Moab for food. Tackled a burrito the size of my face and was not defeated.
Back to poo hotel and hopefully will get a better sleep tonight, finally getting a lie in as well!!

SANTA’S SESH 🎅 He’s actually awake!! Visited the Moab brewery for a pint of Johnny’s IPA, 7% in a can. Liked it so much, brought one back to the room. Also had a standard draught (unfortunately less than 4% as is custom in Utah) but still typical American IPA; crisp hoppy taste but refreshing after a long day as a tourist.
