... are just a few of an amazing list of talent that came from the area, there must be something in the water here.  Attached to the Experience is the Science Fiction Museum, Mecca for the sci-fi nerds that flock here to see the countless props and models from TV and movies.  We saw many of the props from Star Trek, Jurassic Park, and even E.T. (the actual E.T. used in the movie).  Hoping not to sound like nerds, we will leave it there.  We found Seattle to be very ...

... furry hat that I will be wearing all winter when I get back home. There was also free beer which was a great ice-breaker when coming into a new hostel! The Green Tortoise was great - first time that I have ventured out of the HI Hostel network and it was worth it. Bit of a dodgy area but right by Pike Place Market which was great for people watching.

The tour was pretty interesting although somewhat drawn out. Did some shopping afterwards where I was able to ...

... te openen maar dat dit niet op tijd klaar was. Het werd dus duidelijk dat we op zoek moesten gaan naar een andere overnachtingsplaats. De taxichauffeur heeft enkele hotels gebeld en uiteindelijk hebben we de nacht doorgebracht in het Travellodge Space Needle Hotel.
