Wenatchee & Lake Chelan

 

Exploring further afield in Washington State we stayed for a few days in Wenatchee, the Apple capitol of the north west.

We were a little worried about our the quality of our hotel accommodation when we saw these ‘Modern Apartments’

Wenatchee is a pretty but small town on the banks of the Columbia river but a really cute town which makes the most of the river for swimming, boating, etc.

All was well as we found that along with apples;

They also grow a lot of these;

And have a really good local food scene with great public market and even really good southern style bbq. 

We had a slightly surreal moment when after a couple of tastings too many, we staggered outside to a procession of planes on a train.
