I Guess I done seen about everything........!

The Falls are magnificent and I guess we'll always remember viewing them from 'above' and 'below' on the day of the Royal Wedding, particularly as we were greeted by a poster-size photo of Princess Diana, William, and Harry wearing ponchos, when they visited.

Our hotel suite is lovely, but there's definitely something about Casino towns that attract strange people 'out of season'!

The massive self-serve breakfast room (with 'Omelette Station'!) could easily have passed for the 'Tar Tui' bar scene in Star Wars....in a way it was kinda nice that 'travelling light' we could actually dress-down from our norm and get away with it! Having waited a lifetime to see the Falls (during the day and at night from our window, as they changed colour with the lighting effects) I figured this would be one of the most notable sights of the trip. I was so wrong....for during breakfast, a couple were parked on the adjacent table, the guy having brought along his own black pottery coffee mug. This in itself was no big deal, but the mug had a capacity of somewhere in the region of 2-3 litres!! (It reminded me of Dom Jolley's giant mobile phone!) The server, a very pleasant guy, strolled up, introduced himself and laughingly pointed at the mug, saying "I guess you don't need that filling with coffee?!".....to which the guy replied "Yeah"!! So the server dutifully toted mega-mug away and filled it with the Ebassy's finest brew. Whilst the couple filled their plates at the breakfast buffet, the server brought along several colleagues to see the mug and bear witness to what even to them was a singularly unusual event......the Chief Greeter turned to me and casually remarked "If that guy has a re-fill he'll be 'up' forever!!" When the guy returned, he tipped almost a full carton of milk into the caffeine-loaded mix together with several helpings of sugar......we exited before 'the high' kicked-in! We spent most of the day taking-in the Falls and the surrounding area and were surprised to stumble on a part of town resembling Blackpool's 'Golden Mile'.

As today was pretty laid back I'm going for a piece of music that I was planning to use for the East Coast, but which seemed just about fine for today:
