Over the continental divide

We had breakfast at Kremmling's Moose restaurant, we have almost
become regulars! Then we jumped to PT Cruiser and headed towards Estes
Park through Rocky Mountains National Park. The drive itself was not
too long, but we were glad we had planned a full day for it.

In RMNP as it is known locally we got to break some altitude records:
driving an hiking (well, at this point it really can't be called
hiking, rather than just walking really slow) at the height of 3700 m
/ 12000 ft above sea level.

Accomodation we found in Estes Park in Elkhorn Lodge, a very
old-fahsioned and charming hotel that is quite worn down looking but
incredebly homely and quiant. It is almost empty as the owners are
planning to sell it. The big, empty hallways and banquet rooms make
for stephen king -esque feel at the hotel (even though there in
another hotel in Estes Park that was used in filming the Shining).
Additional bonus is the free beer and wine (they are emptying their
stock) as self service.

Miles today: 116 (not much but took most of the time still)
