Last day on the road as we moved to position ourselves to get to Kingman and finally, the airport, for Norjies morning flight tomorrow. It was a better day than expected as we traversed Route 66. Firstly the best coffee all trip this morning in Flagstaff. Quite accidentally we found a place with the best croissants and the best coffee in the USA. That made me happy. We then walked around Flagstaff to get the ‘vibe’ but there was no fucking vibe. We were wandering around at 10am but nothing opened until 12 noon. Seriously???? So Flagstaff failed to impress despite some lovely buildings and a great coffee.
We moved on to stay on Route 66 which was a longer trip through Seligman, and stopped for all the kitsch along the way. Only the photos can go some way to explaining this. The tourists choofing along Route 66 are the obvious and possibly only source of income for the towns. But if you’re on the route, the kitsch has to be embraced.
Finally to Kingman. We checked in to our basic hotel which has everything we need. Then we set out to get the car washed in a car wash monster, then off to find our final Margarita for the trip, a wander around town then something to eat. This time we shunned Mexican and went for the Italians. A nice meal and then home to polish off any remaining wine and start the process of getting our cases organised for the return home. Truly the last hurrah, and a great success I would say!!
