Wanderlust: Day 21

Day 21 – Goodbye Chiberia! Early start (5.00am – very rude for holidays) to board 9.00am flight to Denver. What an unbelievable airport! After disembarking we had to walk quite a way to main mall, then catch a train to the baggage collection, our bags were waiting for us then out to rental car station where a bus then transported us to the main car area to pick up our rental. We were given a brand new Chevrolet four-wheel drive and after sorting out our GPS we were off to Steamboat by about 12.00pm. Great road, though still a little stressful driving on wrong side of the road sitting in the passenger seat! We took a small detour, thinking we were going to find a coffee shop – wrong! So back on the main road for another 12 miles to a place called Klemm…something – will try to find the name on the way out …. Where you can at least get a coffee. Back on the road, still great however the last 20 – 30 miles were a little stressful – lots of snow and ice on the road so we drove with great care and finally made it to Steamboat Springs by 4.00pm. Fabulous resort – our room is big enough to accommodate at least six (maybe more) with fully contained kitchen, large lounge/dining are complete with fireplace, king sized bedroom and double sink bathroom.

Down to the bar – how unusual J - “Happy Hour” between 3.00 – 6.00pm, so a few wines and appetisers then back to the room – it’s been a big day!
