The Rockies National Park - wow

Final full day of road trip ended in The Rockies National Park - what a finale!

It is impossible to take a bad photo in this place - here's a few Hubby took







See...


The next day we said farewell to our Jeep and Mildred (the Sat Nav). Grand total of distance travelled was...2659 miles !!


All the Top Tips I've shared with you came into their own today

  • Car returned with a full tank of fuel. Garage less than a mile from car rental return was $2.69 a gallon - Hertz would have charged $9.99 a gallon. Now I'm rubbish at maths but even I can see which one is better value.

  • Cleared all the rubbish out of the car so avoided the $50 clean up fee
By the way - I'm not a fan of Sat Navs usually - I pride myself on being quite a good navigator and map reader. Total convert since we got to use Mildred. She would find us the quickest / shortest / cheapest route, tell us where the nearest Subway was and got us everywhere we wanted to go via some very interesting sights. The best thing was - we didn't pay for her - she was in the car anyway - bonus!


Absolutely amazing 2 weeks but now we are on to the next part of the adventure over in East USA.
