Oklahoma

Desayunamos rapido en el Best Western Rail Haven, hotel historico en la ruta 66 en el que el servicio no tiene las habitaciones listas hasta las 10 de la noche! y nos echamos a la carretera dispuestos a saltarnos mas peajes.

Habiamos oido hablar mucho de Tulsa en la serie Friends y teniamos mucha ilusion por visitarla. Seria por ser domingo pero es una ciudad fantasma aunque eso si, con un centro financiero de edificios arquitectonicamente impresionantes.

En la habitacion del hotel de Oklahoma hemos pasado 15 minutos buscando la segunda cama.  Las camas en los EEUU son tamaño gigante pero los 4 durmiendo en una sola  nos parecia un poco excesivo, asi que tiramos los dados a ver quien dormia en el suelo. La falta de camas de la habitación se compensaba con las vistas al estadio de baseball. Al final decidimos bajar a recepción a protestar y ya tenemos bien aprendida la lección cuando hagamos las reservas.  Le debimos dar mucha pena al señor de reception porque nos cambió a una suite con 2 camas, 2 sofas-camas, 2 baños  y cocina.

Dimos un paseo por los canales de Oklahoma parando a tomar unas cervezas y fumarnos unos puros, la cena en un restaurante (Flint) a la altura de viajeros que se alojan en suites.








Quick breakfast in the Best Western Rail Haven, historic hotel in Route 66 where the service doesn't have the rooms ready until 10pm! and we started driving ready to violate some more tolls in the motorway.  

We had heard a lot about Tulsa in the TV programme Friends and we were really looking foward visiting it. Maybe because it was Sunday, Tulsa was a ghost town, but the financial district had arquitecturally impressive buildings.

In the hotel room in Oklahoma we spent 15 minutes looking for the second bed. In the USA bed sizes are gigantic but we thought 4 people sleeping in one bed was excessive so we threw the dice to see who was going to sleep on the floor. The room lacked beds but made up for it with the views into the baseball stadium. Eventually we went to reception to complain and from now on we make the bookings we are ensuring the rooms have the required number of beds. The receptionist felt sorry for us and upgraded our room to a suite with 2 beds, 2 sofa-beds, 2 toilets and a kitchen.

We enjoyed a walk in the Oklahoma canals in Bricktown and we stopped for beers and cigars. Dinner in a restaurant (Flint) as posh as the travellers staying in hotel suites.
