Think I'm in heaven!

I got itchy feet and decided to leave Colorado Springs and head for Salt Lake City and spend a few days there. I stopped at Denver for my big boy breakfast (I hope the seats are wider on the plane home!)




I would just like to thank the chef who cleverly concealed a fried egg under my bacon so when I cut into the bacon, the egg squirted out all over my shorts. And the jam on the pancakes decided they prefer my T-Shirt to my mouth so by the time I left, it looked like I had a food fight with myself and lost! The waitresses are great, they come running up to you as you are paying the cashier and "hope you have a good day, a safe trip, a long and prosperous life and healthy children" just as the cashier is hand you the receipt with the 'Tip' part to fill in!

This was another long drive but it was another good one right into the mountains, it was like being on the M62 but on a much grander scale and the prize at the end is a beautiful city. No, not Manchester!!




I was 8,000 ft above sea level at one point with nothing but fields, mountains and 2 strips of road. It was very remote.






Everytime I pass a big black 18 wheeler, I can't help but think of the film 'Duel'!




I'm so glad I have my iPod with me, I've just been going through it and listening to albums I haven't heard for ages. Some parts have been the perfect soundtrack to the scenery around me.





As I came into Salt Lake City, the roads were unbelievable, real proper drivers roads that twisted and turned, up and down between the huge mountains instead of having tunnels going through them. It was such a great experience I'm even thinking of driving back out to drive in again. The sun was just setting, it was great and then before my eyes, Salt Lake City was presented to me. A huge flat ground as far as the eye could see of buildings, life and lights and then in the distance, the huge mountains overlooking the city and the lakes.

Got to the hotel and it's one of the best I have been in for ages. As well as been really nice and friendly staff, it's got a pool, nightclub on the roof, and I got a free upgrade!











Oh, by the way, if anyone see's Peter Kay or that Tony Christie send then this, it may help!
