We're safely back at the hotel in Albuquerque. The weather was horrible all the way home. No thunder and lightning but grey and miserable. Rain all the way and quite heavy in places. However, better that the weather be bad today while we we're driving on the interstate than tomorrow when we're back on the old road. Time for tea at the hotel restaurant and bed ready for our journey from Albuquerque to Holbrook tomorrow.

Once we had finished our pizza we started the 70 or so miles left to our hotel for the night. New Mexico is so different to Texas. Texas is very flat and bare and New Mexico has beautiful mountains everywhere you look. On our journey from Santa Fe to tonight's hotel, we saw some amazing roads, mountains and views. The sunset over the mountains was just beautiful. We are now safely at our 6th hotel and feeling fat from all the pizza.
