Day 222 - Time Flies…


Well this is it, our penultimate day of travelling. We leave tomorrow and then all is done for now. Today we had set ourselves only one challenge, well two if you include packing, to find the last Dairy Queen of our trip! We had looked it up on a DQ finder app for the iPhone and so set off to see if it was where it was meant to be. We did have reservations about the location as it appeared to be on a random street though we couldn’t just eliminate this and had to see for ourselves what was there.

About 1.6 miles later we arrived on a random street and were stood looking at our destination – a very average looking house. We then resorted to plan B which involved yet more walking. A further 1.9 miles later we arrived at the local shopping mall and went inside to check out the list of food stores. 

HALLELUJAH! Here was a DQ and so we made a beeline for the place where we each ordered a large Blizzard. After these we then decided to walk back to the motel so as the help our bodies deal with the 1200 or so calories per Blizzard, never mind the lashings of sugar and dollops of fat!

Our 6 mile walk had been nice and all we now wanted to do was relax, though packing was an ever present horror chore that would soon have to be tackled. Blog first though.
