Today we went to visit the Chelly Canyon, which entrance was right next to our hotel. We had booked a tour with Bobby Vanwinckel, a native Navajo man. He grew up in the canyon. The Chelly canyon is Navajo territory. He took us for a three hour long jeep tour through the canyon, in two different jeeps. Bobby and his nephew drove the jeeps and told us all the stories about the history of the Navajo, Hopi and Anasazi people. They knew all the stories by learning them from their families and trainers. They also told us what all the drawings meant. It was really interesting to learn about the Navajo culture and see the canyon and see how people still live there. We bought some hand made bracelets by a lovely woman, who made all her jewellery herself. The jeep ride itself was also a lot of fun! It went up and down and up again! I highly recommend this really fun and extremely interesting tour of Bobby Vanwinckel!
After visiting the canyon, we went on to have some lunch, payed a visit to the visitors centre to watch a small movie about the history of the area, and then moved on to our next stop; Moab, Utah.
We stopped at hole in the rock on our way. I was really tired, so I slept most of the way, and worked on my journal.
In Moab we are staying in a mobile home, called red sands habituation. It is a really well organised mobile home, since there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a laundry room and a spacious living area. It’s insane how much they can fit in such a cabin! It sleeps up to eight people!
We cooked ourselves some nice dinner, some mexican wraps! After playing some games (which I won, haha), we went to bed! The beds were really comfortable and I slept great!
Keep u posted! Tomorrow a new adventure awaits! And it’s gonna be a cool one! Cheers!
