23/12/07

We set up camp, walked to the local Chinese, past some way out bikes, eight cylinder monsters, and filled our faces. Had another first – a Chinese beer, meandered across 4 lanes of traffic each way to reach the “Old Town” just in time to witness the Vintage car procession, before taking a walk with the masses ( better class Blackpool – even sold English beer!!). They have an “English Shop” there that sells genuine English products – at a price. Walkers crisps $2.90 per packet, and the smallest jar of Marmite = $8.49. No one needs the goods at those prices, even sell English beer.




Saturday finds us driving back across country heading for the Gulf Coast – so a stop at Kissimmee “Old Town” as good a place as any for a one night stop – we did intend to free camp at the Wal-Mart – but decided we would be cheeky, after parking up in a motel I had previously stayed at, and that had masses of parking space, and ask if we would be ok there for the night – the receptionist a sweet person said – what I don’t see, I don’t know! – Thank you ma’am!!
