You Know When You've Been Mormaned!!!

Hello peeps,

Ok so first lesson learnt when Scott the tour director explains the extra nights out in different places is always good to LISTEN last night was well to be honest words cannot describe, we left our hotel at 6pm drove about 10 mins to meet the sisters which are young women who are mormons they took us to where we were having dinner as soon as we saw the sisters we got the giggles well not we as in me and lee but me and some of the girls on the trip, the sisters seem to have big smiles on their faces all the time once we started laughing that’s it the whole 2 and half hours spent here was giggling.

The food wasn’t bad but no great either, we had a tour of the Temple Square which is their main area in the city where the temples and music halls are, they tried to convert us they gave us cards to fill out with our name and addresses so they could send someone around our houses when we get home and talk to us and help us find our way I don’t think anyone on the tour filled one out although there was a few of us thinking of people we don’t like much and putting them down !!!!

We didn’t.. As we were leaving the temple gardens to go to the concert hall to hear the choir we passed a guy outside the area shouting and protesting against the Mormons basically saying they are a bunch of weirdo’s!!! it was funny to be in the middle of it !!!! At least we went out for the evening but it’s not really our thing we are not religious people and it was well weird really…
After that we returned back to the hotel Lee found some beer sold in the garage next to the hotel which was welled needed he tried to get me a glass of wine from the bar in the hotel but they don’t let you take them to your room that’s the rules not impressed but hey..

Early start this morning no surprise there 8am on the coach on the way to Cedar city. After a few hours on the coach we stopped at a place called Ruby’s Inn for lunch which is near the Bryce Canyon National Park.. We had a group picture taken and then we had lunch.. After lunch we went into the National Park.. OMG the views were spectacular, see the pics and videos below..
We had a couple of walks around and photo stops and then went back to Ruby’s Inn to buy the group picture from earlier as a souvenir.. Staying in Cedar City tomorrow, only for 1 night and then we are off to the Grand Canyon…

On the way we are stopping off at Zion National park in the morning and then having a “Chuck Wagon” (Wild Wild West) themed lunch.. yeeeee haaaaaahhhhh!!!!!
Can’t believe how quick the time has gone we will be home in a week!!!

Lots of Love
