Day 13 – Vancouver to Seattle


We left Canada and arrived in Seattle late in the afternoon, it took a long time crossing into America as our good friends at border control insisted we fill out multiple forms, have our photographs taken and give fingerprints from both hands. I don't suppose Ciara's 'Mohammed Springstein – Born in the UAE' t-shirt helped much.

We headed straight into the city centre as we had been reliably informed that Seattle does a mean line in tossed salad and scrambled eggs. It was a nice city, however, eating and drinking establishments were very thin on the ground so after about two hours of searching and seeing no restaurants we headed home as it had also started to pelt with rain. Five minutes from our hotel we found a street with about 10 bars/restaurants. We ordered two pizzas which when they arrived were so large that there could have been a family of Mexicans living on the far side and you would never have known.
