Honeymoon complete!

We're home now safe and sound (and tired!). Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to update the blog after Las Vegas, so here's a brief round up and a few more photos.

After we checked out of Vegas we set a course towards Los Angeles - but on the way we made a stop off at a ghost town!



Not many ghosts, but lots of western style buildings from a town that sprung up for 30 years during the gold rush.



After a drink at the saloon we rode out towards our final destination - the Queen Mary.

She is a massive ship, bigger than the Titanic as with more engine power than her successor the QM2.



The interior of the ship is because, all elaborate Art Deco stylings that look like something out of Bioshock.



After two nights at our floating hotel we took the rental car (the White Stalion) for one last ride to LAX and waiting around for our plane. The airport isn't quite as up to date or fancy as Terminal 5 at Healthrow (which is very nice), but we've been to far worse airports!

Our flight home was pretty pleasent (for a nine hour journey), but although Alex and I originally had seats next to each other - we spit ourselves up so that a couple with a baby could sit next to each other. There's more to the story than that, but I'm too tired at the moment to write about it :)

I'm off to sleep now and then back to work in the morning!

We hope everyone has enjoyed reading the blog, it saves up from telling everybody about three weeks worth of adventures ;)

Pete & Alex
