We left Derby at 4am and by mid afternoon we were sampling the delights Chicago had to offer as we started our Route 66 adventure
The day started with a traditional American breakfast at at the unofficial start to Route 66 in Chicago, Lou Mitchell's. It's exactly the kind of place a Brit would imagine if they were told to describe an all American diner.
Our first day on the route 66 in Illinois was an eventful one. Firstly the taxi driver taking us back to O'Hare airport to pick up the hire car spoke very little English and didn't have much of a clue where he was going.
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.
Ive finally got round to editing a few more videos from the hours and hours of footage i took whilst driving Route 66 last summer.
