Woke up and hiked to a waterfall – Whank Falls –a ha ha - which meant a another morning of “Mummy, throw rock in water”. Had coffee in Bryson City – the prettiest one horse town where they gave Isla some kind of sweet red raisins. Headed towards Chattanooga, Tennessee. What a beautiful drive. Through winding roads with rivers and railroads running alongside, rafters and kayakers for company. Past dams and giant lakes with swimming beaches and boat launches, through a Cherokee Indian reserve and roadworks staffed by men with big signs saying “INMATE” on their backs. Finishing with a stop at Wallmart for a coffee machine and BBQ – hurray – all we need are a couple of bikes and we are set!
Staying at one of the top 10 RV sites in the US. Learning that what RV-ers like is not always what we like. We like the peace and beauty of the National and State Parks, even if it means no electricity or showers. The Americans like flat concrete slabs to park on, WIFI and 80 cable channels, plus a pool and laundry. Don’t get me wrong we like that every few days as we do want to wash – but a mixture of the two is a good thing.
