I am already in the State of Kansas! On the way to Kansas City we made the stopover in Wichita. Reason? They have a Cowtown on the bank of the river!
Cowtown is a replica of the wild west town from 19th century. You see horses on the streets, some staff work in the costumes from the old era… You can visit all houses, public buildings, workshops to see, how it was in the past… (but first you have to pay 8 USD entry fee). It is worth to be here.
Proceeding to Kansas City we paid for for the first time for the highway. Because there was “turnpike” highway on the road. You have to study the route before you go. Maybe it will be cheaper to drive the other way… We paid 2 USD from the border to Wichita plus 6 USD Wichita to Emporia.
Can you imagine that most of the Kansas City is not in the Kansas State, but in the State of Missouri? Funny isn’t it? I found this city very difficult to drive – the multi – level highway system is very complicated. Well, Kansas is another cowboy state and they have plenty of cattle here. The well-done steak is obligatory for the evening meal!
