Last week we had a touristy day in Seattle. We went on a Duck tour - the lorries that turn into boats. We've seen them in London but never been on them (sometimes it's harder to do the fun tourist things when it's closer to home!) We had a very entertaining tour guide who told us lots of fun and slightly quirky facts. The views of the Seattle skyline from Lake Union were very cool. Also on the lake were lots of houseboats, which were originally the cheap housing option and now cost a gazillion dollars. They were all sorts of different styles including faux stately home. Apparently some of them have underwater basements with glass walls ! there is a lot of money in Seattle........
After the duck tour we went up the sky observatory in the Columbia tower. This is the highest building in Seattle and looks down upon the space needle. The views were awesome and it wasn't even a particularly clear day. We are planning another trip on a clear winter's day when all the mountains are out, and we can stay up there and watch the lights come on in the evening.
