DAY 11 | Tombstone our 2nd home | ||
A stroll along main street before breakfast at The OK Cafe.
We were all thirsty and opted for the bottomless lemonade.
We had a choice of a trolley tour or a horse drawn stage coach. We went for the stage coach and were treated to a non stop oration of the towns founding fathers and history by Jason the driver, who had bizarrely popped up at the 4 Deuces last night, a little worse for wear.
The short tour took us through the previous incarnations of many of the local buildings.
And outlined the order in which the buildings had events. that went on to culminate in the gunfight at the OK Corral
Once off the tour we chose to see the Comedy show.
Not only does Tombstone have a historical gunfight re-enactment 3 times daily, but also a more light hearted show.
Good guys Hooray, versus bad guys boooo.
The actors ( all pro's who have been in the Wyatt Earp type movies ) gave us a stunningly cheesy but fun filled 40 minute show.
The kids had a photo with the stars.
A lazy afternoon by the pool, Hollie and Ben went into town for an early cocktail & made friends with some locals at the Oriental Saloon, we joined a little later for Dinner at the chrystal Palace, and a farewell nightcap at the 4 Deuces.
Goodnight dear reader..We saddle up and move out at dawn x
