Thursday 29th May - Halfway there, few beers in Albuquerque!

Breakfast in the Steak Ranch, before buying Cowboy hats in the gift shop was the start to what turned out to be a very good day on the route!

Just past Amarillo is the famous "Cadillac Ranch"
We had to stop and take a few snaps (although we did actually drive straight past it!)

Back in the car and we realised that halfway point of Adrian, TX was nearby. We stopped for a drink and a look around the gift shop before taking on the second half of our mammoth journey!
Crossing the state line into New Mexico and we had a list of stops before reaching our Ultimate destination of Albuquerque. The first of these was Tucumcari to see the famous Blue Swallow Motel. Second up was the Blue Hole pool in Santa Rosa. We decided to have a kickaround with the football here and dip our toes in this big natural pool.


We were back on the road again headed for Albuquerque. We arrived about 5.30pm (ish) checked into our motel and hit the pool for an hour or so. We were all buzzing from the last couple of days in particular so we thought we'd make a night of it out on the town. The taxi dropped us in a popular part of town and we started the night in Maloney's Tavern. We went on to a comedy club and then another bar before retiring for the night. Good night out had by all in Albuquerque.
