Monday 26th May - Litchfield, IL to Lebanon, MO


Early start required today as we planned to do quite a lot. First things first though, we went to a place called Jubelts (right next to the Ariston Cafe) and had a really good breakfast!

From there we headed to St.Louis, MO and headed straight for the Arch (you couldn't really miss it!) Inside the arch was really interesting, and well worth a visit. Bad weather and enormous queues meant that we didn't go up to the top.

As we were on schedule for the day we decided to take a trip to the meremec caverns. Now, we thought that as they were advertised as Jesse James' hideout that the tour would be somewhat related to this. Er.. no, good tour if you are into Geology! (DO NOT TOUCH THE ROCK!)
The trip to the caverns took longer than we thought, but we really wanted to make it to the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon, MO that night. It was recommended highly on various sites, books, etc. It didn't disappoint! I would recommend to anyone doing the route that this place is a must!

Evening entertainment came in the form of the retro 70's bowling alley across the street. Cheap games and cheap beer ensured a busy day finished well!
