Day 84 Lubbock-Roswell, USA

Visited Buddy Hollys gravesite and memorial statue before the drive to Roswell.The next few days we would really just be spending some time relaxing in places where theres not much to see or do.
If you dont know this already Roswell is famous for the first apparent UFO sighting in 1947.So you can imagine what the place is like,shops selling aliens tshirts and cafes saying 'Aliens welcome here' and plenty of other useless rubbish.As simon was so looking forward to looking around the UFO Museum and it was cheap i thought 'Oh well it cant really be that bad and as theres nothing else to do i may as well look around it'.
Well the first thing i couldnt believe was upon walking in the guy taking our money says in a broad cockney/essex accent 'So where are you guys from'.Here i am miles from home and pretty much miles from anywhere really and theres this guy talking with his accent thats like im back at home again.
As for the museum well ive never seen so much rubbish and made up stories in my entire life.Lets also say its one place i wont be coming back to.
