Sunday was only about travelling when we moved from a town of Coalinga in California to the Los Angeles airport. Heavy storm had complicated us our way and we woried about if we can make it on time to the airport. Fortunately, we did but our flight had been delayed by two hours anyway due a weather. After we landed in Denver and rent a car, it was 3 am when we checked in our "good-old" hotel in Lakewood.

Despite late arrival, we had to get up at normal hour in the next morning. Firstly, we made a Pepsi Center tour. We had many questions for the guide and took many, many photos so the general lenght of the tour almost doubled the normal time. We spent there 2 hours after which we spent last money in the Altitude Authentics team's store. At the tour, we could seen the Denver Nuggets players at their practice and also some Sharks players too. One of them was Tomáš Hertl. When we he heard our Czech/Slovak, he came to meet us. He is really cool guy. We talked a little bit and took photos too. The tour ended at the highest floor of the arena where the media members and team employees have seats during the games.

After the last-wave shopping at the Pepsi Center, we spent next two hours in Denver Downtown at the 16th Street Mall where we visited more souvenirs shops. Then our 6th game and sadly 6th loss followed. After the game, we could meet some player thanks the special VIP tickets from the team. We met Jared Bednar, who recognized us immediately. Patrick Wiercioch told us he saw us before in the stands.

Quick reminder: as we informed you on our social networks, the Denver Post wrote an article about us. We will have a separate story on this later. Now, two more days are ahead of us in the USA.
