Day 15 - West Again
We checked out with a couple of minutes to spare. TomTom had decided that the best off motorway and therefore toll free route was the northerly route rather than US41 we came on. So we headed to US27 again this time turned right and right again into the gas station. The cafe alongside had a loads of bikes outside including a fetching pink and white HD. US27 is almost as featureless as SR997. Same dead trees, same dead straight and no towns until South Bay; 45 miles of nothing but straight road. As we approached Lake Okeechobee we expected to see it lapping gently alongside the road. We never saw it as it is behind a twenty foot or more high levee! We had a coffee stop in Clewiston at Dunkin Donuts before the last leg of the journey to Fort Myers Beach on slightly more interesting SR80... We arrived a little too early and the room wasn't ready. The Beach Shell Inn is another traditional style motel. Quirky. They ha
