So after moving them into the sun to thaw out,we enjoy a lovely cooked breakfast and go for a wander round the few gift shops. It looks like we had definately made the correct decision yesterday morning not to head north to Bryce,as we hear that there had been heavy snow there! (This does mean though that I may have to come back so that I can visit this beautiful canyon)

By about 11the bikes and roads have thawed out, so we take 180 down to Williams. It is still pretty cold -the bike thermometer is flashing at 37f-so its 6 layers of clotihng,including waterproofs to keep out the wind! Michelin Man has nothing on me!
After 64,we take 40 to Flagstaff,turning off onto 89A where the scenery changes to pine forests.
We stop at Creek Canyon,where there is a small market where Navajo Indians are selling handmade jewellry...too good to resist & a few purchase are made.
The sun starts to warm up as we ride into Sedona-what beautiful scenery.
We stop in Sedona for lunch,and it is warm enough to sit outside to eat.
After lunch we spend an hour wandering round the many gift shops.
I finally manage to find a Bald Eagle for Dona,as she has been feeling left out without a mascot.
After Sedona, we continue onto Jerome then a great bit of windy road,with more amazing views.
As we head into Prestcott the sun is blinding-even with the dark visor down on my lid I cannot see a thing-so have to ride with my left hand up blocking out the sun for a while. The timing on my i-pod is perfect as Three Doors Down come on singing "I'm tired of staring at the sun".
