Poo hotel decided to give us a wake up call 2 hours early.. Not a happy ginger. Breakfast wasn’t as poo this morning, had some oatmeal after I managed to work out how the hell their microwave worked.
We set off for Mesa Verde and our guide decided it would be a good idea to play some Country music.. It was bearable until a 10 minute version of American Pie came on.. I can’t even tell you how close I was to getting the CD (actual dark ages!!) and frisbeeing it out the damn window.
Mesa Verde was totally different to any of the parks I’ve ever been to. Unfortunately we encountered rain and lightening and knowing what my current track record is for breaking technology, I didn’t get as many photos as I had hoped. The park is absolutely steaped in history and it’s amazing to think how these people lived all those years ago, and what they achieved with such little resources. The outskirts of the park also had an enormous amount of trees and seeing the changing colours really makes it feel like Fall (have to use proper terminology whilst I’m here!)
Arrived in Durango where we will spend the night before boarding the train to take us to Silverton. Had a quick browse round the museum but didn’t find a fat controller (except Santa)

SANTA’S SESH 🎅 We ate and drank in Steamworks Brewery tonight. Santa tried 2 beers…
1. Colorodo proud 5.6% crisp and hoppy.
2. Conductor 9.1% a nice sweet beer. Heavy in alcohol.. Lovely! Still can’t quite decide what is in this beer, probably dream about it later.
