Planes, Trains and Automobiles (Smoky mountains - Williamsburg - Washington DC - New York) Day 11

Day 11 - Monday 10th April 2017

We woke at 8 and I made breakfast in the room of porridge, fruit, juice and coffee. We packed up the room for check out and made our way back into the waterpark for 10. We enjoyed some of the family raft rides first things which was a good job as they closed them off by midday, I assumed because someone had had an accident!




At 1 we got showered and sat in the lobby to have a snack before setting off to see a bit of Colonial Williamsburg. We were going to have a walk around and see if it was worthwhile purchasing a ticket for the next day.
We parked for free at the visitors centre and took the 10 minute walk over into the town.


I loved it here! It was like stepping into the film set of 'Roots'! They had runaway slave posters up all over the place...



About 4pm Georgia needed the toilet so we went into a bookstore that had a café branded as a Starbucks. We decided to stop for a drink. The queue was long and it seemed they had been very busy as the manager was telling everyone in line 'We are not a Starbucks, we don't accept Starbucks cards, if its not on the menu then we don't have it, there's no lunch items left'! We chose to get the biggest sized iced coffee and share. This turned out to be a bargain at $2.50 and they did not add milk so I cheekily asked for another cup and was able to decant half and then add the milk.

It was lovely to just walk around here, like stepping back in time.


We stopped at Cici's for dinner just because it was close by (and cheap at $23). We later discovered that the Harris Teter building next to our hotel was a supermarket and had great food options inside!

We were returning back to the Howard Johnson for the next 2 nights. Different room but same layout. I did enjoy our stay here as for the price, it was clean, comfortable and Georgia enjoyed the pool!
