we watched andy murray win gold at the olympics first thing, then had a continental breakfast at the Americas best value inn in page, we then drove to lake Powell to a really cute floating harbour - we walked down in the heat and got ice creams and sat inside a really cool chilled out bar with leather sofas - we then went and sat outside overlooking the lake - there were loads of huge fish swimming past near us, we asked about going on a boat ride but unfortunately it was full. we took a free shuttle golf buggy type car back up the walkway between the harbour and car park and we got dropped off right outside our car! we drove to another part of the lake where there was a little lakeside hotel where you could buy drinks - we got a few bottles of drink and crisps and downloaded Utah sat nav map - we then continued on to Wendy's in kanab for a bite to eat before Zion national park. we paid our entrance fee then drove all around the national park and got some good photos - it was very spectacular and was beautiful vast huge orange rocks. we then drove to the visitor centre and took a free shuttle bus which goes off the main track down a private road only accessed by the shuttle. unfortunately a family of 8 rude and noisy French people came and sat infront of us so we made a quick exit at a stop where there were a few facilities and we walked/hiked all the way to a really pretty little pond/pool of water which was supplied by water dripping down from above - we walked underneath it to cool off! we then walked back and had to get the shuttle back because Utah uses mountain time and is an hour ahead of Arizona because Utah uses daylight saving in the summer, Arizona doesn't - Nevada and California use pacific time zone and daylight saving too. we then drove through Springdale which was a beautiful little town in Zion on the way out - we inquired at several hotels with no luck then drove through virgin and ended up in Hurricane in a comfort inn which was a bargain at $69.99! we drove over to McDonald's for a quick tea then went back to the inn and got the laundry on!
