DAY 42 - Rest Day - Salida Colorado

Hi everyone,
Well we did decide to have a rest day today as we had been riding for the last 6 days & it looks like we have 4 pretty big days ahead.
Caught up with Alan last night for dinner at funky little restaurant called Amica's (wood fired pizza & Micro Brewery)
We managed to convince Alan to take another day off & we are all going to ride together again for a while which will be nice.
Day started with a sleep in to 8:30 - longest sleep in yet.
We mucked around in the morning chatting to others in the campsite while cooking breakfast, people seem so fascinated with us & what we are doing.
We had to laugh today as 1 of the RV's near us opened the door & a lady came out with a cat on a lead (trust me the cat did not look impressed) she then tied the cat to the picnic table for about 20mins of 'outdoor fresh air' I guess.
Then later we saw the same lady walking her 2 dogs + the cat around the campground! so funny (the dogs were the same size as the cat)

After some supermarket shopping we packed up the tent & headed to the Day's Inn hotel as we decided we would shout ourselves a hotel for the night.
Alan is staying there also so we thought we can get organised & away together tomorrow.
After lunch we headed to down town Salida to check out the shops which were really cool & quirky.
Good vibes from this town - lots of bikes everywhere & the people are really friendly.

Spending the evening chilling out in the room & getting organised for tomorrow, flicking through the 50 cable channels we have available - but still we can't find anything to watch!!
bye
