Seattle: space needles, revolving restaurants and underground tours

 

Here's the Space Needle. We had dinner at the top in the revolving restaurant. The food was OK and the views were great. Ash's favourite bit was finding a little note which someone had put on the window which read something like "My parents are holding me hostage - please save me" which we saw as our table revolved past that part of the window. We also rode the ducks (a tour on land and water) which was cool.

We had a good night out in Seattle on the Friday. Unfortunately, it was a bit too good, resulting in most of Saturday in bed recovering. Andrew finally got to try Jägermeister (bizarrely, when the bar closes (at 2am!) you can still order one last shot). Ashley had neat vodka (you can imagine the results).

We are taking the Victoria Clipper to Vancouver Island today but managed to squeeze in the Underground Tour this morning, which takes you round bits of original Seattle which was constructed on the mud flats. After a fire in 1889 Seattle was entirely rebuilt (using bricks and mortar, rather than wood) one storey above the old street level.

Where are we?
