A day in Austin

We spent today in Austin taking in some of the sights. After realising that we needed to book for the "duck" tour we took a stroll around town. While the city was a hive of activity at night, by day it was largely deserted save for the cockroaches which seemed to be everywhere. We took a bus out to Barton Creek Mall where we at last managed to get a USA sim card. Returning to the city centre we visited the Capitol before returning to the hotel for an afternoon swim. Some of the guys had gone out on a run with the Austin Lotus Club, but after the heat of the day before and the 350 mile drive tomorrow the last thing we wanted was to get back in the car.
