Castle Marne Denver 
Denver Holidays Day 3
Our Denver holidays was proving to be very interesting and exciting with the various Denver sights and Denver tourist attractions that we had seen so far. At the same time, we were basking in the luxury of our accommodation that seems to be more than just a Denver suite hotel and ready to take in more Denver adventure.
Castle Marne Bed & Breakfast Denver is located on Race Street. You do not have to look for a luxury hotel. Denver provides you with Castle Marne B&B which in our opinion is more than a luxury hotel and can be considered a Denver suite hotel as each room is furnished differently making it very unique.
Today’s breakfast consisted of warm homemade muffins which were simply delicious with an aroma you simply could not resist. The blueberry pancakes were cooked to perfection and we couldn’t help but ask for more and we were more than satisfied with the full and delicious breakfast we had.
mmmmm..... yummy muffins
and oh so delicious blueberry pancakes
After breakfast, we took a slow walk around the area viewing the beautiful houses and buildings around the area. Just a few blocks away, we passed by a building that was previously a Jewish synagogue and which has been very recently converted into “Church in The City’.

We also passed by the Denver East High School as well as the monuments to the pioneers of the city.

The fountain opposite The Tattered CoversAfter walking, we ended up at Tattered Covers, a bookstore that in located in a building that was previously a theatre and now declared a ‘Historic Building’. A huge place with a wide range of books to suit everyone, we spent some time here browsing through the books before going back to Castle Marne B&B to wait for our pick-up for the Mountain Tours at 1245 hrs.

Mountain Tours cost $40 per person and included visits to Denver tourist attractions such as Red Rocks, Dinosaur Ridge as well as Buffalo Bill’s Grave and Museum.
Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre - It took 300 million years for Mother Nature to create Denver's most scenic attraction, also known as the jewel of Denver's mountain parks. Towered by two 400-foot sandstone monoliths, the amphitheater is a near-perfect setting with natural acoustics where groups such as The Beatles and Bruce Springsteen have performed. Here you can get a panoramic view of Denver and the plains.

Dinosaur Ridge - This is one of Colorado's most unusual museums. Dinosaur Ridge is a geologically famous National Natural Landmark and is located along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Whether you explore the area on a self-guided hike, bike or drive tour, you will be able to learn about the history and ecology of the area that is rich in fossil evidence. Guided tours are also available. Look out for dinosaur tracks, footprints, bones and fossils which are etched by nature into the scraped rock walls.

Buffalo Bill’s Museum & Grave - Located on Lookout Mountain is the final resting place of Buffalo Bill Cody who was born in 1846. His skill as a buffalo hunter gained him the nickname "Buffalo Bill". The museum honours the exploits of the frontier scout and showman who started Buffalo Bill's Wild West Shows. Here you are also able to view exhibits of Buffalo Bill's life and the Wild West shows, Indian artifacts, Western art and firearms. At the foot of the Rocky Mountaints' snowcapped peaks, this idyllic spot offers many great views of the Great Plains to the east and majestic peaks to the west.

By the time we were dropped off at Castle Marne Denver, it was already 1830 hrs. Although tea is normally served from 1500 hrs to 1700 hrs, as the owners knew we were yearning to try their afternoon tea, they had left it out for us to help ourselves. Today they had a variety of petit fours on selection and each of them tasted so good that we couldn’t help gorging on them.
Lovely petit fours
In the evening, we walked to Colfax Ave and decided to try the Grand China, a Chinese restaurant, close by. The portion was huge and the food quite authentic. Reasonable prices too. A nice experience and we were glad to be able to try out some Chinese food during our Denver holidays.

Along the way, we saw buffaloes and deer although we did not get to see any elks. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and learned quite a lot about the area as well from our tour guide cum driver. It was truly a great Denver adventure for us not only seeing the various tourist attractions here in Denver but learning about the history behind them and how the various natural tourist attractions were formed.
