Ghosts, Underground & Shoot-outs

Absolutely no un-wanted visitors last night people! We both had a great sleep! You can stop laughing at me now family - we are outta the haunted hotel! Really was a great place to stay. While we were sitting in the lounge a young couple checked in and they wanted the room the female ghost last "made her appearance"! Why pay for that? A newly married couple checked in also and we enjoyed some delicious wedding cake.

This morning we read up about a mine tour. Because Bisbee is a major copper mining town we thought why not. (thinking open-cast!)

Bought the tickets and lined up to be dressed. Looking the part we were asked to board the train! Nek minnit heading deep into a underground mine! 1500 feet later we were in the deep constant 47F year round temperature mine. Can I tell you my heart was beating pretty quickly. This would not be a job opportunity I'll be sending my cv too! The tour lasted over an hour and I was pretty happy to see daylight. A really good tourist attraction though. Great value and great local guide who was full of history and humour. For some reason he opted to focus some of the jokes on me!

He showed us the 'bathroom facility' they had to use in years gone by and of course I had to ask can I sit on it? Wouldn't have been pleasant I can tell you.

Left Bisbee and next stop was Tombstone. What a wild Western town. Fun was had from the moment we got there till we left. All good timing again. As soon as we arrived there was a historic gunfight about to start at Doc Holliday's Gunfight Palace. Front row tickets and we were in. Great show. The acting was the best we have seen so far.

Headed down the road to Big Nose Kate's Saloon for lunch. Live music, great food and fantastic atmosphere. The girl that served us had Si speechless. She was busting out of her bustier. His expression was priceless. Even I was impressed! Good fun, even on top of the piano!

Fed the horse and rode out of town and have found our ranch for the night at Tucson still in Arizona. Was raining when we arrived but Si and I have still been in the pool. Only us - typical! But it was perfect temperature. Still about 23 degrees.

Thinking about the farmers and lambs at home. Typical lambing weather Southland is having. Keep warm everyone!
