Today we left our condo in Nashville and headed out towards Lexington in Kentucky. We started the day by following Interstate Highway 65 north towards Kentucky. The interstates are not much fun with all the trucks but we had a fair distance to travel and thought we would get some miles under our belt before taking some of the prettier back roads. Also by following a major route
we had a better chance of finding a Welcome Centre which we have discovered as a little gem - clean modern restrooms and very helpful friendly staff with some great ideas for routes to take. We also get free maps of the state and therefore a State map
for Kentucky is our next goal.

On the I65: they really don't need to appear any closer as they already tend to travel all to close
and over the speed limit! |
A map and some general information was provided by the Centre at
Franklin just over the Kentucky border. As recommended at the Welcome Centre we travelled a little further on to Bowling Green for brunch and a
break.

| Adult bookshops nearly outnumber churches..... |
From Bowling Green we continued north to Elizabethtown where
we turned easterly along the Bluegrass Parkway. This took us through some
picturesque countryside on the way to Lexington.

Our overnight stop is in Georgetown where we are staying on a B&B horse stud in Georgetown.

| Sun set and a glass of wine in hand, all very hard to take really. |
