Back on the road

Sunday 18th April

We hit the road again today and headed back up North towards Atlanta. The roads are long and straight so to pass the time we alternated between playing trivia and eating Gummy Bears. We pitted our witts aginst the American team but matter how hard we tried to let our gracious hosts win we failed miserably.

The midway  point in our journey saw both teams stopping at Longhorne Steak House for a flame grilled lunch. What we have all come to realise, much to the detrement of our ever expanding waistlines is that the food portions here are extreamly more generous than what we get back home. This is a big country with a big apetite.

This stop saw us bid farewell to our new friends from the  US GSE Team for the time being. This was a sad moment as we had shared so many good times together and bonded so well since our arrival.

When we reached Atlanta we briefly stopped to swap drivers. We said goodby to Gary Moore who handed over to Candler Ginn who showed us round the palatial HQ of Georgia Power. We then headed onwards for the final leg of our journey which brought us to Catersville where we spent the night in a Holiday Inn.
