Kansas City - Limon

Saturday 19th July
Countdown commences 10
We rode out of Kansas City to a roadside Maccas for breakfast.  Gotta love Maccas for breakfast and it helps that they have free wifi.

Riding through Kansas we see heaps of little oil rigs all through the fields and many tanks to decant the oil until pick up.  It looks terrible!!!!  The terrain is pretty flat and boring.

We arrive in Limon and find our hotel oh my!!!! it awful from the outside I wondered what it would be like from the inside.  First we have to find our room, the directions we were given were pretty pointless and we had to negatiate a maze of stairs, doors and hallways to find the room.  In the entry way to the stairs there was a huge bucket of sand with heaps of cigarette ends in it!!  The hallways were filthy, the stairs were a trip hazard and there was this room opposite the door to our room that contained piles of broken furniture.  Our room was pretty old school with carpeted shelves everywhere and the ceiling was peeling and obviously water affected.  The bathroom was pretty good it actually looked like it had been recently renovated.

We were not keen on riding anywhere for dinner and had asked the man at the desk in the lobby if the Pizza Hut next door was open as it looked abandoned.  So we walked over there and were shown to a table.  The waitress came to ask what we like to drink and I had noticed a sign stating what beers they served so I asked for an MGD, she couldn't understand my accent and said "we don't have that" I pointed to the sign and said "that sign says you do" so off she went to check, they didn't have any so we asked for Coors which came in these cute little stubby bottles, she then bought our water in kiddie cups and apologised that they had run out of the red ones.  ooookkkkkk......then we ordered our pizza a large, thincrust super supreme ie meats, green peppers (capsicum), mushrooms and olives.  The server came to the table with a pizza put it down in front of us not only was it not a large, it had no olives or green peppers.  She said oh sh!t!" ha ha David was peeing himself laughing, she came back with the right pizza but it still had no green peppers so I mentioned it and she said "we ran out!! oh my so funny!!! so we asked for more beers.  Another couple of groups of people came in and the servers said "there will be a 30-60 minute wait" so both groups walked straight back out.  While the server was bringing our beers a man pushed his face against the window to see if the restaurant Then another couple came in and ordered salad bar but they had no forks left the male of the couple held his hands up as if to shovel his food with them and said "but how will I eat my food?"we ended up giving him the fork we hadn't used.  When we went to pay the bill the server only charged us for one beer each, David tried to point it out but she just dismissed him, the single funniest night we've had in ages.
