Orlando to Fresno - Blogabond

We got up early in Orlando to catch our flights to Salt Lake City and Fresno. Driving back to the airport and returning the car to the right place wasn't too difficult. We then flew to Salt Lake City. It is a stunning city set inbetween the mountains with a huge salt lake nearby. The lake has more than 50% salt (NaCl) content. We had a 3 hour stop over in SLC and so decided to try and get transport out of the airport to see the city. We saw an advert for the Temple Square bus and so found our way to that. The temple square bus is a free shuttle service run by the Mormon's to/from the airport to the city centre or Temple Square. We had a very pleasant driver who gave us a little tour around the square and told us what to look at. We then got out and strolled around the square taking photos and then up one road to the Capitol hill building. We returned to have a look at the Mormon Conference hall - a massive hall that seats 21 000 people!

We met the same shuttle and driver who took us back to the airport - a 1 1/2 hours or so well spent. Our flight left on time - it was in a smaller jet, a Canadair 200 which took us to Fresno.
