We spent some more time in Kingman, Arizona, on Route 66. Including a lunch stop at Mr. D'z, a proper diner on Route 66. The kids, and Lucy especially, kept asking questions about a certain "Elvis" and a certain "Marilyn", whose photos were decorating the walls of Mr. D'z establishment.
We then drove across the Hoover Dam. Probably one of the last drives across the actual dam, because the construction of the adjoining mega bridge is almost finished. And from then on all traffic will be directed across the bridge rather than the dam (which will probably cut out the inspection of all vehicles for explosives, which caused a rather long traffic jam when we were there).
Back in Las Vegas for one final night. Time to swap vehicles! After spending the last night in the RV, we returned that vehicle (which we really got used to by now - even Sabine finally stopped bumping her head inside) and picked up our rental car for the next week.
As we left Las Vegas we stumbled across the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. So - slightly out of sequence - we stopped there for a final photo in Las Vegas.
In a normal car (i.e. with proper speed and far less noisy vs. the RV) we drove to Southern California - to Palm Desert, to be precise. For a week of relaxation in a proper hotel in the "United States of Convenience" before heading off to "Terra Incognita" (aka Australia).
