Restday in Grand Canyon

From Tusayan we drove back to Grand Canyon Village where we spent one night. Wonderful evening with a colourful sunset. Walked along the rim and Katrin took thousands of pictures.

We stayed overnight in the Bright Angel Lodge. Horrible rip off! The room was very, very basic, you could hear every word, snor and more from the neighbouring rooms. No breakfast included. Just a place that only exists because it is at such a marvelous place. We had wanted to stay two nights, but after one night we had enough!

It´s hard to believe, that apparently no one really cares much to make the hotels here more of an good experience. So many hotels and motels we sleep in are ok., but we you almost never feel a personal touch. Staff often is badly informed and not very attentive. But at the same time, we always find very nice staff, but those are not the rule.
What is really striking is, that although we are in the dessert, saving water is not a issue, for example in the shower it is in general only possible to choose hot or cold, but not how much water to flow; at most places an awful lotz of water flows. This in the 21 century! Doors never look tight, neither do windows. So noises are a common nuisance here in the hotels.
