Day 12: Bainbridge Island, Undercity & Space Needle.



We went to Bainbridge Island. Its this island near Seattle. The ferry ride over was great. You know you can pay $50 for a cruise. We paid $6 and got a ferry ride with the same views and stopped at an island! The Island is quite large. The town is not. We walked around and the sights were great. I bought a Turkey and Cranberry sandwich and was delish. We came back to Seattle city and decided to take the underground tour. Sounds boaring? No way. Its a real town ... under the streets. There use to be bars, shops, banks and tons more. You can walk under the street and see the different shops and even the old shop fittings. Nothing is used today of course! It all closed down a hundred years ago. We came out through Pioneer square and saw that the fog had gone. So we went to the Space Needle. It was worth it. Actually, if you go... wait until the afternoon. Dusk is quite nice and then the lights come on. It's amazing. I had dinner with a wonderful guy called Nathan who showed me around the city and the outer areas. (Nathan you are wonderfull!)
