So I was sitting in the RV park in Austin, Texas thinking, hmmmmm what would be a fun thing to do?
Going on a guided tour of downtown on a Segway I says........
So we did! Tons of fun, we really enjoyed it, and Sue only crashed and burned once!
I called our friends, Driftwood Gal; Colleen and Bob, in a moment of weakness, they agreed to go, Colleen even found 4 coupons hidden in the ad, quite a sleuth, that Colleen.
We had the tour, amid hundreds of horrified sidewalk pedestrians, scattering in our path like frightened Pigeons. Rightfully so, as we had a mere 4 minutes of training. We actually did very well, there were 8 or so of us adventurers. I would stop and take a picture, as my Segway drifted back into whatever was behind me.
The trip lasted around 2 1/2 hours, our legs and feet were sore a little, but we were all having so much fun, we didn't notice.
Some pictures and links for you to see.
