Had a slower start to the day today, which was great. Went to the infamous Pike Street Markets where there is a fish market where when you buy a fish, the vendors throw it from the crowd to the guy at the scales and everyone cheers and yells! Quite entertaining. The rest of the markets were great as well, and many interesting and unique stores. Was fun.
Then we went on a great tour of Underground Seattle where we were told the history of how Seattle was burnt down in the late 1800s and rebuilt slowly but surely at a higher level. So interesting going through the old streets and our guide was fantastic.

We then all went our separate ways for a few hours and met up for predinner drinks before grabbing a cab and finding an Irish Bar. We had a great, fun night and sensibly, us girls left early - don't know what time - but stupidly left the guys there! They don't know what time they left, how they left and we seem to have acquired a bit of memorabillia! Anyway, off to airport in a couple of hours and on to Vegas. Hopeully into some warmer weather. Still sunny here in Seattle, but cool winds. Having a great time with everyone, and sad to know that it'll be over for Anne and Mick in a few days.We've had a ball!

I didn't realise Seattle was such an interesting place. Looks like you did all the top spots and made the most of your stay. John and the boys don't look like they're enjoying it at all!!!!!! I suppose you are in Vegas about now and getting ready for the big day. Hope all goes to plan and you don't lose too much at the casinos. Good luck for today.
