Simon and I headed out around 11am while Jill had a few more hours layzing in bed.We headed over to the Public Market first which is a stones throw away from the hostel.Its a fairly large market and also has around another 50 shops underground selling all weird and strange things.The highlight of the market however is a certain fish stall where for some reason the workers are always being filmed.Well if you call them workers because all the seem to be doing is pissing about throwing fish and other things at each other.
Next we headed over to the Westlake Shopping Center for a quick browse around before we headed back to see if Jill has surfaced.
As we were now all up we walked along the waterfront and eventually to the Space Needle (yet another reasonably tall building to go up).
The views from the top of the 605ft Space Needle were quite reasonable although in the distance there was a fair amount of cloud,but you could through the binoculars just about pick out some snow on some of the surrounding mountains.
After an hour of looking around we caught the monorail back to the city centre for some food before heading back to the hostel.Then after relaxing for a few hours we headed of to a micro brewery pub for a few beers before heading back for a fairly early night.
