Rosie - Bat country

Hello!

We have landed and first impressions are that it is HOT!

Flight was long, but good. We all very much enjoyed the free baby bottles of booze from BA. We landed at 6:30pm local time (2am for you lot) and got taxis to the Bellagio, where we were told we'd been given an upgrade to a penthouse suite!

So, our suite is double the size of our flat. And as you can just about see from the photo, it is just below the 'B' of the Bellagio sign on the front of the hotel.

We managed to facetime with mum and dad as they were waking up for the morning which was brilliant fun, we are looking forward to having another chat pre wedding with them, Jo and Graz. The time difference is hard to get your head round but it's fab being able to stay in touch so easily.

After running around like excited children we went out for a small explore and ended up at the Harley Davidson cafe where we ordered food and then ended up too jet lagged to eat anything.

George and I woke up at 7, facetimed with Jess, who was just about to go to Brixton (with a scarf on), then because it is so bloody hot we went for a a swim and a sunbathe. Quick change and then limo to get our wedding licence.. Ooh! This was vaguely boring, being in a council type office, a bit like a rubbish post office, but also crazy exciting.

We then took another limo to the gun store where we shot some really big, loud guns. I surprised myself by hitting the paper. Gina and I have decided we are now SBT (Small But Dangerous), so don't mess with us! Top fun for me was the shotgun which injured several people's shoulders due to the recoil. I don't know the names of the other guns, but they were scary, and made really loud noises and I can't really believe we were allowed to do it. Big time fun though.

After that it was lunch time and we went to Taco Bell, which was tastytastytasty, fast Mexican food may be my favourite thing ever. I am probably going to come back from America fat, but happy. Also - married, so tough luck to George!

Now we're having a relax in the suite with Emma, Bimal, Justin, Jon, Gina, Hannah and Dibs with a small glass or something each prior to a bit more sunbathing and swimming when it cools down a bit. Apparently its 105°f, which I have no idea what that is in proper money, other than HOT!

Will add some photos soon. But here is a view from on of our windows.

If you look at the front of the Bellagio we have the first three arches on the left from the middle.

So excited!
