When I wake up I take the normal look out of the window to see how strong the rain is… there is no rain. It is cloudy/gray, but not raining at the moment. That opens for totally new opportunities. Hopping over the poor breakfast. This is the first morning without rain. Still a grey sky, but…

Less rain today. After breakfast I make my way into downtown, close to the Sears tower (that’s what it still is for everybody). Even with a little rain, I want to do the architectural free walking tour. It is the same guy who waited for all the participants yesterday. Me being one of them (without…

Waking up after a good nights sleep. The pain in the foot is much better. Outside the rain is hitting the window and lightning is followed by thunder. How I love rain… not! You just want to stay in bed. OK, some breakfast which is included in the booking. Sweet cereals, toast and jelly. Not…

What a night. Didn’t sleep much. Couldn’t put my feet anywhere without it hurting. I am feeling old. Getting out of bed hurts, limping to the bathroom. The only thing that helps are two Paracetamol and binding my shoes very tight. Then I can move at least (but not fast). To early for breakfast, but the…

Waking up after a short night of sleep after it was late yesterday. Construction work outside the window doesn’t help much. Quick shower, packing my bag and checking out. I will get a refund of 75 % (because of the festival, the rules are stricter, I found that in the contract). Luggage gets into storage….

A short and bad night. Full room again, lots coming and going. I am full awake before 6 am. No reason to stay. Fast check out (just leave the room card) and then the 100 m to the light railway to the airport. Again 3 USD is a reasonable price for an airport connection. Of…

Last full day in Seattle. First deal of the day is a small bike ride. I wanted to check out the new Amazon Go shop concept I heard about. You download the app, connect it to your Amazon account and go there. Just check in at the entrance, pick what you need and go out…

Yeah… I slept until 7:00. 🙂 Today is a Geocaching day. After a shower and packing all I need for today I leave the hostel to get to the area of Fremont. No breakfast (bagel with peanut butter and jelly is OK every other day). Just get to the bus stop, wait for the no….
