Horses, Cheese and Dancing!!! Our last day of lie in, so we made the most of it , getting up around 2 and then going shopping with Mario. We were having a BBQ with his family before dancing that evening and needed some supplies. After getting most of the bits at Walmart, Mario had heard our cries for 'real' cheese and took us to a place called central market which has foods from all over the world and so, naturally is quite expensive! We did however find some...

Then we headed out to The Stockhouse which is a Western style town with cowboy shops a rodeo arena and various other tourist gift shops.

After a quick look round we found a spot...

Meanwhile Andy said he was going for a drive...I thought to garages to try and sell Bertha, but it turned out he went to t...

Salsa in the Park We started today, when we eventually got up, by parking at Planet Hollywood and then walking across to MGM Grand for another look at the lions followed by breakfast/lunch/dinner?! At the Rainforest Cafe! Although this is generally quite an expensive place to eat we had found a voucher where you got a free appetiser when you bought a main dish so we chose dishes we could share easily. To start we had chicken quesadillas which came with a rich...
