Houston

Saturday 18th June 2011
Still no photos happening......will keep trying.

Early rise again this morning to catch the 7am bus to Houston. On the bus we note the changing countryside, increasingly more intensive farming as we move east. This means lots of farming communities and towns and green pasture rather than the western desert. We arrive at about 10.45am and book into the ‘Club Quarter’ hotel just off Main street on Franin street. Our first impression of Houston is that it is a clean and modern city.

There is a tram running the length of Main Street. We did think about taking it but decided walking was much better for us. There are a lot of homeless people on Main Street. Other than the occasional one asking for money they keep much to themselves.

The Club Quarter hotel is really nice. It caters to business people during the week and they have quite good prices on weekends when they are quieter. Rooms are a bit smaller than we have encountered so far but very neat and clean. They have a gym room (which we did visit for a half hour work out) and a restaurant downstairs where we had dinner.

Moving on again tomorrow so having an early night.
