A lot more miles to cover today, passing up from South Carolina to Virginia. Pretty much heads down and go! The highlight for the day, as is often the case on such occasions, was dinner. There was another opportunity for a highlight of the day as England were playing in the World Cup against Germany. Mark had gotten the kick off time wrong so by the time we had pulled off the road to find somewhere to watch it was half-time and England were 2 – 1 down. Karen managed to sweet talk a receptionist at a hotel into letting us watch the game in their lobby. Unfortunately by 20 minutes into the second half England were 4-1 down, so we gave up and carried on our journey.
Anyway back to the food. We chose to stop at another “Road Food” restaurant, this time one called “Dixie Bones”, which is in Woodbridge, Virginia. This restaurant serves good, wholesome southern cooking – yes more fried food. Little surprise that we have put weight on during this trip! To further our humiliation our server turned out to be German, and despite the front of being sympathetic with us poor English folks there was definitely an undertone of gloating there. It was tempting not to leave a tip! Fortunately the food was wonderful, especially the pulled pork, and we set-off to our hotel for the night.
