Day 10 Yesterday we wanted to get a good few miles tackled so we didn’t have to do a large journey on the penultimate day. Leaving Defuniak Springs we pootled along i-10 for a while until I remembered a place I wanted to stop off at. There aren’t many times you can say you’ve visited…
Not going to lie, today’s post could be boring as it’s been a driving day however we did stop off at a cracking Ice cream place.
Today we made our way just 50mins up the road to Tallahassee. We wanted to have a mooch around the big shopping mall called Grovesner.
Wow, what a day! So not too far away from Appalachicola there’s a place I read about where several old timer cars are out in the open rusting away. Being near, it was something I didn’t want to miss. We’d already seen some cool cars this morning.
After a cracking nights kip and waking up to a fantastic sea view, it was time get cracking.
We wanted to get some miles down and headed out on the road a earlier than usual. The roads are pretty straight and easy going. After a while we stopped off at Bishops coffee shop.
We set off from Foley and headed east to Pensacola, Florida. We’d been told there was a great Naval Air Force base to visit plus it was near our hotel we were going to be staying at [More on that later].
After a couple days feeling jet lagged, we set off from Mobile to the Battleship Park where the USS Alabama (ship) and USS Drum (submarine) are based.
Today was our first proper day where I knew the time and day, and where on planet earth I was. I’d seen fantastic old trams just like the film ‘A streetcar named desire’ and for breakfast commute we headed to the stop right outside the hotel front door.
Made it! After a long flight, we came into land over swap land which looked like something out of the film, Southern Comfort.
