A 6:30am rise to have our routine continental breakfast of cereal & juice before we hit the road again. Cornflakes seems to be the flavour of our trip. Bree has also discovered ‘coated cornflakes’, no extra sugar sachet needed.
Our scheduled drive today was 5 hours + an extra hour to visit Mark’s Aunty & Uncle’s old ranch just our of Fort Collins and take a few photos.
In our 6 days and 3,500km’s we have discovered that RV-ing is America’s favourite pastime. Most RV’s carry a combination of their car or boat. We have also discovered that everything has a drive-thru. Why walk to an ATM when you can just drive straight up to one? Mark had to struggle awkwardly out of the driver’s side window and position himself away from the sun in order to see the screen, but hey!
A first on our American road trip was booking into a hotel for more than 1 night in Greeley, near Fort Collins, Colorado. After settling into the lodgings and trying unsuccessfully to use the free Wi-Fi provided we decided to take our car and give it a well deserved bath.
On a more sombre
The Rocky Mountainsnote we happened to arrive in Colorado just days after the fatal shooting at a midnight screening of Batman 3 in Aurora, just out of Denver. We had followed this on the radio the past 2 days, so many stories of people who were meant to be at the screening or knew someone who was, 12 lives were taken. May they rest in peace.
Ahhhhhhhhh, our first sleep in, nice to just wake up and not jump straight in the car. We had the morning to relax before heading into Fort Collins to meet up with friends of my aunty & uncle. We grabbed some lunch and stopped at our favourite shop (Wal-Mart) to grab a jumbo-sized salsa dip and went on our way to meet Mark’s Aunty & Uncle’s friends Donna and Frank.
