Williams, Arizona to Las Vegas






Possibly the highlight and certainly the most novel of all accommodations on our trip was in this Caboose, after we left the Grand Canyon and returned to Williams. Williams is a town focussed around Route 66 diners and the Grand Canyon Railway. Apparently the Disney movie, Cars featured some footage from the Diner (pictured) where we ate. It snowed again, but the kids were undeterred and spent a couple of happy hours loading and unloading tyres in the playground outside our "Caboose" before we set off for a five hour drive to Las Vegas. The five hours became closer to seven or eight after a car accident blocked the road for over an hour and traffic was banked for miles - a great photo opportunity for windswept desert shots and the amazing approach in to Vegas via the Hoover Dam.
