Day 80 - Austin, Texas, USA
Day 80 – 27th August 2005 -6:00 GMT
Drove over to the State Capital Building and took a look around.
The State Capital Building, Texas
They have an amazing Dome with the portraits of all the Governors since the early 1800’s around the walls. We looked around the Treasury offices and then looked at the Senate Chamber and the House of Representatives.

After this we drove to the University District and ate at a vegetarian restaurant called Veggie Heaven. Here we tried Bubble Tea, like a creamy chocolate milkshake with bubbles of Tapioca in it. It was actually very nice. We then drove around and found a cycling shop for Reece where Lance Armstrong frequents, Reece spent loads of money on clothing here. We then went back to the hotel for an hour or so before heading to the cinema to see Dukes Of Hazzard, on the way home there was a sofa in the centre of the motorway which was causing a bit of trouble with cars braking and swerving. In the evening we walked down to 6th Street when it was 95 F at 8:30pm and visited a few of the bars including a pirate bar that sold Newcastle Brown Ale. I then walked back to the hotel.
