    The last post was funny, so I thought I'd have a look on wikipedia. It's a navaho area, where it's illegal to serve alcohol. It's a poor area too, as you'd expect given the population.

    I don't think you should give it a hard time based on that.

    where else do you get such great images?

    Monument Valley was beautiful. We drove through there at dusk and the huge rocks were silhouetted by the dark red sun. A truley amazing place.

    As for Kayenta...... Well, ive made my feelings pretty clear on that dive which your pictures seem to confirm!

    best :beer: New York Feb 2007 freezing cold and fab:beer:

    I've been to New York in January and May... January was by far the best! Manahattan is great but not in the crowds, and when you have to queue for absolutely everything!

    Tenerife is appearing on alot of peoples worst places to go,WHICH is a real shame, obviously these people do not go to where I visit, where as a winter sun destination it is quite lovely. OK los christianos,las americas are not good,but come on folks,there are other places to stay in Tenerife,yes theres not masses of culture etc but,not all of it is horrid!


    I am sure the majority here have posted personal opinion, it's my no means meant to offend anyone? I mean I love vegas, but I don't get uptight when others say its their worst holiday, we're all different.:D
