Another 460 miles today took us from the edge of Florida, down to about halfway, and our second home 8002 near Walt Disney World; on the way we visited the “Truman House” and Seaside (where the Truman movie was filmed):
Today, we were passed by another MINI! It’s amazing how few MINIs we’ve seen since leaving MINI Takes The States, a full week ago, now!
Apart from that “highlight”, we visited New Orleans, drove in four states, and met two of the craziest huge storms we’ve ever seen! One was bad enough, causing many accidents, invisible driving, and amazing lightning shows – but then we went through it all again; and as yet another storm arrived while we were filling the car, we bailed and headed for the closest hotel for the night!
Maybe we will reach “second home” tomorrow, and our trip will be over! Right now, we’ve just passed 4,000 miles, at an average 27.6mpg costing just under $500 (but we need at least one more fill before we reach our destination) …
And of course, GPMINI herself did an extra 2,500 miles with Robert, going out to LA.
As well as covering about 315 miles today, we spent an hour in New Orleans … St Louis Cemetery #1, established 1789, was interesting, and some of the French Quarter was impressive – but Bourbon St was awful, and smelly, and the weather was just too hot and humid to be enjoyable!
