June 19, 2025 - Traveled to Denver and then drove to Colorado Springs

Our flight to Denver was in the morning, therefore we got up early and flew to Denver without any issues.  Once we got to Denver, it took us quite a while to get our Avis rental car. Since they were short on cars, Avis gave us a 4-wheel drive jeep which suites us fine for driving up to Pikes Peak.

It was about 75 minutes drive to Colorado Springs.  This time we tried and booked an Airbnb in northeastern part of Colorado Springs.  It is a basement in a nice and quiet neighborhood and it was a very pleasant stay.


After we settled down, we drove to Colorado Springs Downtown to browse around.  However, their downtown is not exciting at all.  With the hot weather, we just wondered around for a couple of blocks then we went to a highly recommended (by TripAdvisor) restaurant for dinner.  The name of the restaurant is 'The Rabbit Hole' which is an underground restaurant.  The restaurant's seats were all booked and we could only find 2 seats by the bar for our tapas dinner. Their dishes are all tasted wonderful.  However, I had a major stomach issue after I got back to our Airbnb. The restaurant was very dark and we also witness the way their waitress clean wine glasses.  I am sure, I got some not so sanitized food which caused my stomach issues.
