Travelling with Take Tours, Day 3

Day 3 was another early morning for moi and Faith, I think it was a 6am start. We left Denver and started the drive to South Dakota to go to the Crazy Horse Memorial, by this point we had switched drivers and now had one called Larry, who was the one who owned the frisbee and me and Faith being the childish 18year olds found a great amount of fun with it.

On the drive to the memorial we got to watch a whole video about the memorial- like the history behind the memorial and all about the family that are creating it. When we finally arrived, there was no surprise that me and Faith got separated from our group and ended up with a completely different group in a cinema room watching the film we had already watched on the bus :|
When we finally regrouped we had a look around the Crazy Horse Memorial museum and then tried to get some half decent pictures of the memorial, which was kinda hard with it being so far away and my zoom on my camera isn't great. When it got round to lunch I had a hotdog which was becoming a regular thing for me because lets be honest they are sold everywhere in America and they are always sooo nice, it was also the first place I had found that sold Cadburys chocolate- HALLELUJAH, went completely off topic, but couldn't help talking about the food;)
I really recommend going to see the memorial, it was so interesting to look at and learn about the history behind it, I loved that it started off as a family project and is still continuing. One day I hope to go back when its completed.

From then on we made our way over to Mount Rushmore, which I was incredibly excited for because its such a famous memorial. Once we arrived me and my friend obviously tried to remember who the 4 presidents were, I'm pretty sure I got 3 out 4 right which isn't too shabby for a non american;).
We took a lot of pictures of the memorial and had a nice sit in the sun for a while, because quite frankly it is a sight to behold. We obviously took a visit to the gift shop to get some souvenirs and ice cream. My lovely friend Faith bought me a Mount Rushmore coin though which was adorable because I'm a saddo who collects coins!

Finally we went to Devils Tower, where lots of crazy ass people were climbing up the bloody thing, thinking they were spiderman of something. We went for another hike, to try get up close and personal with the tower. But not before our tour guide told us to be wary of bears. I mean c'mon. Bears. Seriously. It wasn't the best thing to tell me before I went off with just Faith into the wilderness. After all that we finally made our way to our hotel in Gillette Wyoming, which was hella creepy by the way and I'm pretty sure it was haunted.

Hope you like the pictures!





You maybe can't tell, but in this picture is one of those spiderman people I was on about!!!!
