Day 23: Williamsburg VA - Atlanta GA

Too tired to amuse, emote, almost even simply record. Today started a long way away and a long time ago (and I'm not even talking about the revolution).

At least tomorrow we have nothing to do but drive. It was hard today to drag ourselves away from the quiet elegance and slick organisation of Williamsburg: we could have spent a week there. But the road and the cat call and now Texas is only three states away....

Today’s statistics:

  • Started driving: 12.24
  • Finished driving: 23.23
  • Miles: 560
  • New States: 2
  • Favourite place-name: Fair Play, South Carolina
  • No. of false sightings of North Dakota plates: 6
  • Percentage of family loyal to King: 75%
  • No. of "Are we there yet"s: 0
  • Breakfast: Williamsburg Woodlands Hotel and Suites
  • Lunch: Macdonalds, Somewhere, VA
  • Dinner: Cracker Barrell, Duncan, SC
Today's discoveries:
  • The town jailer lived well, on a good salary and rent-free in a nice house. Shame about performing the brandings, but otherwise, not bad at all.
  • I haven't yet discovered the difference between apple juice and apple cider over here, but the latter is not alcoholic.
  • The I-85 is a Good Road. The I-64 is a Bad Road.
  • Atlanta would be worth a look in the light. Ah well, next time!
