With all responsibility now at an end, we began our first of two days holiday to round off our trip.
All of us woke up in various states of rest and consciousness, more do with lack of sleep than alcohol. In my case, I was up at around 7am and decided to eat for breakfast the various things that I had ‘liberated’ from campaign offices over the district.
After a hearty breakfast at the wonderful ‘Roberts Roost’ diner, it was off to Milwaukee.
You would think that 7 guys who are for the most part political geeks would go to see some culture or a nice museum, but instead we indulged in a brewery tour! For $7 you could visit the Lakefront Brewery and get 4 6oz beer samples, the tour itself, a voucher for another pint at one of their pubs in the city and a commemorative pint glass. We had a wonderful time and I think I ate my body weight in pretzels.
At the recommendation of our American host, we ate Bratwurst at the restaurant that Obama ate in recently, plus we could use our beer voucher!
Milwaukee is the home of the TV series ‘Happy Days’. In commemoration of this, the local authorities put up a controversial statue known as the ‘Bronze Fonz’. As you can see, it’s hideous but an essential photo opportunity.
After a trip to Walmart, it was back to base camp for drinks and socialising.
What we will do for our last day is currently undetermined, but it should be fun!
