    Windsor to Bowling Green

    May 29, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    A relaxed start in Windsor at 9am, crossing in to US on the Ambassador Bridge. We had a good look at the new Gordie Howe Bridge, still under construction, but it's beautiful.
    Our first stop was in Toledo for breakfast, and a quick mural tour. Back on the I75 to Cincinnati where our lunch plans on the riverfront were thwarted by a Reds game, so we hopped on the I71 and ended up at a grocery store deli counter in Crescent Springs Kentucky.
    A bit of a tour through Louisville (looking for a mechanic, that thankfully we didn't need in the end).
    The drive along I65 through Kentucky was amazing, I didn't expect the hills, or the road cut out of the rock. Really pretty. We were hopeful for a sign announcing change from EDT to CDT, but no luck.
    Arrived at our hotel in Bowling Green at 7pm on the dot, a quick look at the room and then off to dinner at Cracker Barrel (you have to go at least once, so I'm told).
    Back to the hotel for a swim and soak in the hot tub, a shower and bed.
    Good night all!    Read more
