We checked out of our hotel and went in search of breakfast.
We found a trendy coffee bar place which didn't serve much of a breakfast, but it was food.
A TV film crew were taking shots of the place so it would feature on local news no doubt.
We explored the town a bit before leaving and found a lovely sleepy place, historic buildings and grand architecture and sculptures. This is the state capital - not a large town by any means, but must be one of the largest (the largest?) in Wyoming.
We travelled on to Steamboat Springs in Colorado, our next stop for two nights. We lunched in Laramie on the way, in an unlikely Thai restaurant which was actually pretty good. Laramie was interesting and had a hippy feel to it. A railroad town, the tracks took up more space than the roads it seemed. Historical buildings and of course home to the old TV show from the sixties.
We arrived in Steamboat Springs after a beautiful run through ever more mountainous roads. What was amazing was how flat everything looked, even though we were at over 6000 feet above sea level for most of the drive. The high plains lived up to their name.
In Steamboat, we checked in and were delighted to be treated to a room upgrade. It was a beautiful studio - much like an apartment and we had a fully equipped kitchen, washer and drier, dishwasher and jacuzzi tub. And unusually for hotel rooms - really lovely wall art.
The resort is really a ski centre but it was lovely for a couple of days r and r. We could have done with more had we realised we were going to be upgraded!
