Salt Lake City (on the train)

We decided that today we would make our way to Salt Lake City having been assured by Chris and Rachael that it would be easy on the new Frontrunner service. So we drove to downtown Provo and found the station (not difficult) and parked the car. (Note to British Rail FREE CAR PARKING!)
We had a dispute with the ticket machine that didn't seem to like our credit cards and then wanted the exact money for tickets. The machine won!
We caught the train and sat back to enjoy the journey and as ever in Utah we did a spot of temple spotting. When we got into SLC we walked across to pick up the Trax that runs through the city. The trax seemed to have a few problems but eventually we got to North Temple Square and got off to walk around.

This is one of my favourite buildings that I managed to cut the top off.....

The tourist turned up in SLC!

We walked to the Joseph Smith building for a sit down and to enjoy the beauty of the building. the building was formally the Hotel Utah and was considered the best hotel in the west.

We then went to the City Creek Shopping mall a major development of what was ZCMI, beautiful place with wonderful shopping and a Cheesecake factory where we went for lunch- have to say could have got hypothermia there- but did enjoy the food and shared a piece of cheesecake for dessert.

Those tourists were there again. I made a purchase of a Pandora bracelet and bead really love it and have wanted one for ages.....

Then it was time to go...and I love these sculptures on the train station.
