    Our room is very spacious to say the least about the size of our garage no joke then the toilet/shower is size of unsuited very comfy and huge.    Read more

    April 29 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    OK we visited the Museum of pop culture today and it was faining here so glad to be inside out of it and the 9 deg cold with a little breese lovely
    Totally worth the $30.00 ea to get in was unreal every thing from Buddy Holly to Jimmy Hendricks.
    The first 2 are of Space Needle from an old expo and the outside of the museum.

    Take us out to the ball game

    April 30 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    OK here it is folks the good old Baseball game live, first few pics are of the Diamond with the both teams warming up ,in white home team Seattle Mariners Vs in red Los Angeles Angles.
    Rest of pics in this lot are of stadium and crowd building up first hit at 1,10pm on the dot and yep to see it live is fantastic glad we went.
    We got there early to get some merch and yeah we did get the best of them 2 jackets and 2 baseballs and Marriners scarf,all up a great merch store at arena and it was
    Fist pic is Neil's jacket 2nd pic Debs jacket.They are soooo nice can't get them anywhere except from team store only and were not cheap but once in a life purchase for us guilty for spending what we did naaahhh not in the slightest have now got our memories of a ball game with merch.
    Showed our tickets the up lift to 1st of 4 concourses to get to our seats.Each concourse has multiple vending shops with beer,hot food of all sorts hot dogs to pork knuckles to turkey shoulders.    Read more

    Hot dogs are coming

    April 30 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Here is the rest of the game,you have to stand for their anthem local young school kids sang it was great.The rest are of the game and if you can get the video ones watch them and you will see the pitch and batting.All the pitchers are in mph and range from 94 mph for a sliding pitch tom 99.4mph for the 4seam fast ball.
    After each pitch the speed is put up on the side screens along with type of pitch slider etc.
    After they get 3rd base loaded close to a home run every body stands and cheers so loud and if they get a home run bedlam breaks loose with cheers,yelling and laughing at the other teams pitcher thanking him for the run.
    The politics of baseball is unreal to say the least here is a smidgen,the pitcher gets 15 sec to pitch,batter has to get ready to face pitcher in that same time.When they get 3 out they get 2min to change and get on field.
    When a ball is hit and fouled behind catcher they get it and write on it the batter,pitch number and the innings ie;3rd etc and who they played then these balls get sold in their team shop for upwards of 20 to 100 dollars.
    Depending on who hits it the top batter is Rodrigueze he gets the higher price on the ball.
    Most balls caught are all thrown into the crowd as with long hit fouled balls.
    Very quick game average for game is 4 hrs max,started at 1.10 finished after 9 innings at approx 5pm with Mariners winning 7 home runs to Angel's 3.
    We got there by cab easy but trying to get a cab home different story rang 5 times then waited 45 mins and finally hailed different cab company cab and got home to motel then.
    For some reason cabs here do not use radio to base calling mostly done by I pad etc and the rigmarole you go through to explain where you are and destination well tell a 3 year old kid they would have a better understanding of the conversation.Very frustrating and to be in an area for where the cabs are likely to be good luck we haven't had that luck here or Washinton.
    Over here nearly every one uses Uber etc for the same reason cabs are hard to get and if fare is under 10 dollars forget it they will say no not enough for me.
    Give us good old Aussie cabs.    Read more
