Day 32 – Planned Rest Day
I woke up early today, can’t sleep past 8! The others were still sparko so I went to the library to E-mail my tutor at uni.
I got back at 10 to find Callum still sparko and Chris in the shower. I got them up and we went to the bike shop to get our bikes. Callum refused to pay the amount they charged for sorting out his gears despite him going in with a bike sounding like the tin man running a marathon in the rain! It was quite an expensive bike shop and I couldn’t help thinking they were trying to rip us off…Thats why I decided that my bike was fine enough for them not to touch.
We went to a diner called Skaets – came reccomended by many so that was our breakfast sorted. After eating we headed down to the ‘Cosmophere’ space museum. In a fairly small town in the middle of nowhere I didn’t have high hopes for this place. The advert said they had a real SR-71 Blackbird but I guessed that would be all they had. Turns out it was pretty huge. We went to the iMax theatre and watched a film about some Beavers, had a couple of science lessons then went for a walk around the underground museum…The thing was huge and just kept going and going. Chris, as per usual, took ages, leaving me and Cal sat at the end bored for about an hour! Chris – I get my money’s worth whether it’s a buffet, a free bar or a museum you ignorant clod.
We went back to the Church to find Blake then went out to do some Laundry. Afterwards we went to the towns poshest restaurant, Jillians, for some grub. Turns out that not all Americans are obese inbred slobs, the more normal looking ones just eat at nice restaurants and not all-you-can-eat Mexican buffets! For the first time on our trip, dinner was genuinely edible!
Before heading back to bed, Chris had to stop at the Dairy Queen for an ice cream, or two as the case was. I really don’t know how he isn’t 21 stone!
