Goodbye America, we love you!

We spent our last morning of our holiday at the hotel pool. There was not a cloud in the sky and the mountains all around us were green and beautiful. I felt sad to leave and would love to return to Steamboat Springs. The car journey to Denver took us right through the Rockies, which were spectacular and we crossed the Colorado River. The highest that the road reached was more than 12000 feet. Then came a long downhill section with lots of warning signs about the steepness of the slope - half way down there was another warning sign saying "Truckers, you are not down yet!" which I thought was funny. 

The journey home all went according a to plan and I managed to get about five hours sleep between Denver and Reykjavik. It was still a long haul - we worked out that it took us almost exactly 24 hours from leaving Steamboat to arriving home - but I read my book and watched programmes that I had loaded onto my iPad. We had a lovely lunch at Jamie's Italian in Gatwick. When we arrived in Glasgow we were a bit dismayed by the grey, rainy weather - apparently it has been like this since we went away! 

There were no kittens to greet us at home because they are in the cattery; we put on a washing and settled down with sausage suppers (James and Davie) and a large donner kebab (me) How nice to get back to Scottish food!
