Thank God for free coffee at the RV Park! We left in good time and at first it really looked like we would make great progress, California seemed so close but…

Flagstaff went still without mayor delays. We had a nice brunch at The Crown Railroad Café since the neighbouring vintage roadhouse Museum Club was still closed. The railway motif at our restaurant was not bad though and the omelettes delicious.

Off we went to Williams. Wow, what a place, gateway to the Grand Canyon, a hub for the railroad and Route 66 in full swing!

 

 

From there we should have gone West, but 60 miles to the Grand Canyon seemed like a short distance. OK, we spent the rest of the day at the Grand Canyon, watched a presentation and a movie at the visitor centre and took the 25 mile route along the south rim.

We’re very happy that this excursion cost us another day! We had dinner at a Steak House and went back to Williams to stay at the privately owned Canyon Motel & RV Park with yet another railroad theme. You can even get a room at a train car.
