Lake City, Florida, USA.
500 mile drive.
Four States: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
Flat.
Featureless.
Interstate 10 East.
All the way.
Sat nav at one point tells me, “Continue on Interstate 10 for 291 miles”. No other directions needed. Nothing in between.
Easy driving though.
Pull off to a small village called Holt for lunch in a local diner. Everyone in the place is clinically, morbidly obese. America has a problem. Stop serving such big portions for starters (excuse the pun).
Part of the problem is the preponderance of chain restaurants selling pile it high crap food.
Staying overnight at a motorway junction motel, Comfort Suite (https://www.choicehotels.com/florida/lake-city/comfort-suites-hotels/fl990). Can hear the bloke next door’s conversation. Walls are thin.
You’re probably wondering why I would drive 500 miles non stop and stay at a motorway junction hotel, with another 300 miles non stop tomorrow.
Well, dear reader, have a hot date tomorrow night.
Miss Germany. I’m on my way.
