Day 29 Dunkirk to Batavia

After yesterday's 140 miles this is a shot 84. We went to a Greek place for tea last night and this turned out to be a good choice. Others who stayed at the hotel had really slow service etc. They didn't seem to realise that a group of 8 on separate bills confuses the poor servers. Never mind. RAP was to be at 8 with load at 8:30. However, we were loaded and gone by about 8:15. The hope being that we beat the predicted thunder storms. Also some people were taking a side trip to Canada. We passed as close as 8 miles to Buffalo so this would not be too onerous. Apart from some more of Jason' special navigating. Never let him near the front when a turn is coming up we made the one an only SAG at 10:30 ish. Needless to say not much food was consumed for lunch. The ride from lunch as a gentle spin. Th legs were feeling yesterday's tootling a little. However, we arrived at the motel "holiday Inn" after going past it by 1/2 a mile. We unfortunately then had to wait for a room. We waited for an hour or so.
How Americans spell "Holiday Inn" no wonder everyone missed it.


Waiting for a room.

Distance to 83 miles in 4:40.
