Platinum Hotel, Sunday 30th, Las Vegas,

Absolutely gorgeous hotel, really a small apartment, and we're on the 16th floor, one block away from the strip, but this means we have a bird's eye view of fairyland.

Spent the afternoon watching the Ryder Cup, having spent the previous day doing the same....  FANTASTIC, and the crowds were SO hideous, and such bad sports, I was doubly pleased that the Europeans won!

Wandered out along the Casinos in the (relative) cool of the evening.  Arthur was twitching and dying to get to the tables, but thought he would wait until Monday...  Such strength!

Monday
We wanted to post a couple of large parcels home (maps, books, etc.,) so set off to walk the couple of blocks to the Post Office!!!!!    OMG.....   We were given a bit of a bum steer, and walked so far in the heat (about 35 degrees in the shade), that we nearly died getting there - it took over an hour!!!!!

Business done, we caught a cab home - cost - less than $10......    We nearly killed ourselves for $10!!!

So, this afternoon, I have spent the time lounging about in the cool, reading, and fiddling about on the computer,  happy as a sand-boy!!!!   Arch has gone off to win our fortune on the tables - he'll be back eventually, I guess!!!!!  If not, there's a very cozy bar downstairs, and NO Casino!!!!!!  Yay....

On the home stretch now, and we're both dying to get home!!!!!
