The effects of the accumulation of fatigue could be felt today, and some of us were not able to wake up on time. Nevertheless, we still managed to go on a 1 and a half hour, slightly treacherous and slippery hike to see some spectacular views in North Cheyenne Cañon Park.
After which, we went to Manitoe Springs to have a well appreciated lunch in what seems to be a very very cold (to us..we were freezing our asses off) Friday afternoon in Colorado Springs. After that, we headed to Pike's Peak which was so high at 14 thousand plus feet, we found ourselves driving into and above the clouds on our way up. It was such an amazing experience at one point, we thought that we were in Finland or something. Luckily for us, there was no need hike, and all we had to do was to rely on the car to bring us to the 11,000 feet that the park allowed us to go to.
We headed to visit the Cave of the Winds after that, a cave which as some stalagmite and stalagtite formations, which was not very impressive for the price we had to pay, another "tourist trap" I would say. Dinner was probably unfogettable as it was a first. A&W Rootbeer Float with 7 piece KFC chicken and a small coleslaw. An initial craving that proved too much to handle...I swear I wouldn't eat KFC for at least 3 months.
Tomorrow, we'll be heading down to Denver City in the morning, probably making the US Airforce Academy a stopover on the way. It will be our "last day" of the Spring break trip, because on the official last day, we would probably be sleeping in, and chillaxing before heading down to Denver International Airport to return the trusty Hyundai Sonatas, which have proved trustworthy and served us well during the entire trip with both function and form. 2 more days, and it will be Hello again Seattle....
