Day 23/24/25 - June 5/6/7th
Day 23 : 
Utilised the bed time and slept in. We went to the bus stop as we planned to look around Seattle. It was a half hour trip into the city. There were some very interesting people on the bus. A real eye opener. Jo put her photos in and we all had a session at the e-mail cafe. Then we went to this Army, Navy disposal store. It was incredible. Everything you could ever need and it was mega cheap as well. Werni had a large smile on his face as he had plenty of axes to choose from. Although this keenness had some of us a wee bit worried. Will Jo make it through the next trek ? But I did think that the store was going a bit over the top when they were selling a missile carrying case (only in America). We picked up Jo's photos and they were great. As for the rest of the day we just walked around town until it was time to go back to the hotel for some sustenance and to chill out.
Day 24 :
After saying farewell to Werni for his next trek I caught the bus in to meet Jess. Now there was only 2. We did the cheesy thing and had a photo taken outside the first ever Starbucks. As the weather was very Seattle, Jess dragged me into the art Museum : ) Actually the native Northwest section was fairly interesting. Then we headed down to the wharf and walked through the Aquarium. It was cool, and we got to see a cute baby otter. After that we said our farewells and I headed back to the hotel, of course the bus had its usual quota of psychos.
Day 25 : 
Today I was on my own. So I hit the bus again and travelled into the city with more of Seattle's finest. Jumped onto the Monorail up to the Seattle center. It was pretty corny and I did the touristy thing and went up the space needle, as you do. The view was OK but as it was only almost raining, I could not see to far. Then back on the monorail and I went down to the wharf to the Imax theatre. As I was in Seattle I decided to see the "Mt St Helens Eruption" It was a fairly good film and pretty interesting. After that I headed back to the hotel to prepare for my Howdy and the Northwest Escape.
