Day 23 - Albuquerque

Once again it was an early rise for everyone (Craig and Danny), eveyone else decided that a sleep in was in order, so we didn't actually get out of bed until about 11am... Thank god our beds can travel hundreds of miles haha! Danny and Craig stopped of at numerous spots along the road down to Albuquerque, and saw some pretty awesome rock formations, including the Hole in the Rock at Glen Canyon in  Southern Utah...


We ended up stopping in Durango for lunch that day and went to a pub called the Steamworks, they brewed their own beer there, which was pretty cool. Craig wasn't feeling overly hungry so decided to go for a walk around town instead... His loss, the food was pretty good and the beer was even better!


We then continued on towards  Albuquerque, only stopping at Santa Fe to pick up where we left of on Route 66, we checked out the oldest building in the US, apparently it was made in the 1600's, but it didn't look very old, and the inside was closed so we didn't get to check it out.


We stopped at a Burger King joint once we had arrived in Albuquerque because it was the only thing open once we had arrived! We didn't get there until about 10pm, but, all the extra long drives had finally paid off, because we were back on schedule! Which meant that we would be in Vegas in time for Matt's birthday!

Next stop... The road to the Grand Canyon.
