Wednesday 26 September - Day 36 - travel to Lexington


Today isn't really worth talking about all that much.  Lots of driving, through nice scenery but quite similar to the last couple of days.
Short photo stop at Charleston, the capital of West Virginia.  That's real gold on the top of the building:

This is the statue you can see at the bottom of the picture above - it's Abraham Lincoln in his nightdress.  Apparently he used to wander around thinking and reading at night and they thought it would be good to commemorate him that way:

Lunch was at a Golden Corral - which I must say has a huge range of food at an incredibly cheap price - $21.10 for both of us for as much as we could eat, including a large (endless refill) softdrink.  They had salads, all sorts of hot foods, and desserts.
Then we spent three hours at the Kentucky Horse Park - about 2 hours longer than I really wanted to spend there.  Last stop is our hotel for the night - the Lexington Hilton which is very nice, but because it's in the city there's no choice for eating except for restaurants or room service, but we'd have really liked just a snack.
Most coach tours have a day or two that's less than great, and this was one of them. However, tomorrow shows much more sign of promise.
