Seattle, WA, USA

A 5am start to the Vancouver Amtrak station this morning and after 1hr sleep for me (Andy), the journey was gonna be tough. The ride to Seattle was gloomy and foggy. We eventually arrived in Seattle and headed to our airb&b where we were greeted by Scott and the dogs. The house was a converted chicken coop and has a really cool tree house in the back. We dumped our bags and after chatting we headed back up into downtown Seattle. We decided to visit Bruce & Brandon Lee's grave which was awesome. The graves were in a huge cemetery that was for the super rich by the looks of it and had the family tombs of the founding fathers of Seattle. We then headed down to the space needle and after getting my bearings wrong and going the total opposite way we eventually arrives at the needle. As we were early we decided to time it right so we could get the sunset. A quick beer stop and then back to needle. The views are incredible and we even saw mounts Olympus and Rainer. So, back to the sports bar for buffalo chicken and a few drinks before heading back on the train. We had to jump off the train and reboard before the ticket guards got us, as we had not paid to go as far. We got away with it!. Seattle is a cool city and bit gutted we didn't have more time.Baca lagi
