Universal done, next up after shrimp is Islands of Adventure
Travellers ready for 15 hours of rides, horror and rain, lots of rain
Meet Mary and Gwendoline
Dark skies beckon
Time for fun
Mary wins a silly prize
Oh yes, on the plane and ready to rock

And police escort in tow
The new look Mrs Fogg, she likes to think this is her Black Widow look from the Avengers. Why do you think, Marvellous?
Definitely very hot.
Over 1100 miles, 2 countries, 7 states (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana), 1 ferry, 1 Amish town and 3 wheels. And what fun it has been.
Next stop, home.
But we found a Red Lobster, yeah!!
Who knew there were so many famous visitors who have played concerts at the Blue Gate Theatre. I’m sure Val Doonican would have also visited along with Englebert. Val would not have needed to bring his rocking chair – plenty of easy risers there already!
Ps Hels Bels, these are old bands so we forgive you if you’ve never heard of em
This is sure one thirsty cowboy after a 180 mile ride on his steel horse, n’all he wants is a nice cooling glass of the devils fire c’eptin the fact the lil lady done booked em both into a hotel in a dry county!
Dag Nabit, gonna shoot me sumpin!
Now this is an odd place…..
It’s in the middle of nowhere in Indiana and home to a community of Amish. Our sat nav brought us on a rather interesting tour through their back yards.
So Shipshewana caters to a certain age group we think(SAGA anyone)! It’s FULL of kitsch craft stores, antiques (translate to meaning other people’s junk), crap bric-a-brac and the obligatory buggy tours in an Amish carriage or two. The place is plain weird and would not be amiss on an episode of the X Files or Louis Theroux
That said, super buffet at the only real restaurant in town at $16 a head and all you can eat Amish food that’s a bargain). And some super cool views of a very different way of life without cars.
Anyhoo, stuff the buggy, I got a hot chauffeur.
