Clive in Arizona: Day 11
Monday, December 3rd 2018
Just when you thought that you’ve seen it all, along comes something else to prove you wrong - London Bridge relocated to the desert of Arizona at Lake Havasu City. Fifty years ago the engineers dismantled the bridge over the Thames and shipped it over to Arizona and rebuilt it on dry land. Then, setting the diggers to work, they dug a channel and allowed water to flow under the arches once again. It was a crazy idea but somehow it worked and it’s been a huge tourist attraction ever since.

Clive in Arizona: Day 10

I’ve arrived in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, in time for the sunset cruise on the lake.

Who would have thought that a Saguaro Cactus and an Ironwood Tree would have been best mates for more than 50 years. Well that’s the story here. I’ve travelled down to Yuma, Arizona right on the Mexican border and been shown this quirk of nature. The tree and cactus look after each other (symbiotic relationship) and although they’re slow growing, they’ve survived the extremes of nature and show no signs of divorce any time soon. Good for them.
