Fantastic BBQ at the Salt Lick

We had a great blat out of town to what has to be the mother of all barbequeues. It was traditional Texas cowboy style, with an eat all you can setup. The food was fabulous. The blat home was made evermore intersting as we tried to negotiate the Austin road system to get to Walmart, somewhere we will probably find ourselves in quite a lot over the next few weeks. I find it amazing that you can go to buy your groceries and while your at it pick up some clothes, a cd or two, some diy stuff and a couple of car tyres as well. Mind you I couldn`t find any 48R`s

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.
