Day 38- Murphysboro to Elizabethtown

Our last full day in Illinois, which makes me sad because I like
riding here. The weather has been great, the hills entertaining and
not too challenging, but we'll take the ferry across the Ohio river
tomorrow morning... To face something like 700miles through Kentucky!
We were told to stop by this little cafe for free dessert on the way
today, and they served a great omelette and gave us free milkshakes.
Maybe a few too many calories to have before 11am! The ride to
Elizabethtown was nice but I left the boys behind at the last petrol
station stop because they were faffing around too much. We met at the
hotel after a refreshing shower and went for dinner at a restaurant on
a barge, moored on the Ohio river. Well, I can say I've eaten catfish
fresh from the river, but it was all deep fried and served on plastic.
Classy.
