Through cowboy country.

So, after a night in what started as a very hot motel (the air con was initially broken, resulting in a sauna for a room, but luckily fixed!) we had a big drive ahead! We were booked into a motel in Amarillo, home of the big Texan steakhouse.

Only a short couple of stops were possible today, one for the totem pole park (several giant concrete totem poles in a field) and another for the blue whale in Catoosa (a giant fibreglass whale who sits in a pond next to Route 66).

We made it to Amarillo, with time to spare for a few beers (or in Ellie's case, cocktails) and a massive steak.
