We had a lie in this morning as we didn't have to drive anywhere - BLISS !! It wasnt much of a lie in but was nice not getting up and having to repack the bags and head to the car.
After a heavy night on the beer with an American couple last night and a short walk to see Abraham Lincoln's childhood house and other period houses we finally left the strange town of Springfield Illinois to head to St Louis.
