When we told people that we were to get a day off in Pueblo we were treated to a certain amount of sympathy as perhaps it was not the place most people would wish to spend the day if they had a choice. However, our needs were different and the morning was spent doing my laundry and going shopping (at this point several members of my immediate family are in deep shock). I only needed a couple of bits and having got them, left them in my room when we left Pueblo, so that was a waste of time. The afternoon was dedicated to watching the Holland v Russia quarter final of Euro 2008. We got reception to ring the Applebee's bar, as we had spotted large tellys in there the day before that absolutely nobody looks at, and they agreed to put the game on when we arrived. We watched the game with Piet and Hetty who being from Holland gave us the excuse to support the Dutch, but as we all now know, Huw in particular as he had Holland in his office sweep, Russia were the better team and won 3-1. Didn't stop us enjoying the odd beer or two though.
After that it was back to the hotel to check the 'mule' over and then get horizontal as I was taking this rest day seriously. Today was the longest period of daylight hours (not the longest day, they are all the same length) and tomorrow will be the longest ride of the tour so an early night was called for.
Today's distance was 0, if you don't count the fact that the room was about a mile from reception.

Glad to hear you are getting planty of beer down you! The Euro's have been good, you would have got some nice odds on Turkey and Russia both making the semi's.
Some good 'dad' jokes over the last couple of days lets us know that you are doing great, we think of you every day and love reading about these amazing places.
