Weather was hot and sunny, roads fairly good. We had a good run. Into the afternoon, David was happy for me to have my first attempt at driving as we were on the interstate and no corners!!!! So I was nervous but surprised myself at how well I was able to drive at 75 mph!
About 40kms out of Forrest City we could see the sky darkening up - and lots of lighting. Not scary but we ended up in a heavy downpour. We were glad to arrive at our hotel and just as well they have those covered valet type areas in front, we were able to unload without getting the gear wet.
Waited until most of the storm had passed and found a cozy Mexican restaurant in hotel just two doors down - 'Don Jose'. What a beautiful place - I have never seen booths, tables or chairs like it - they were made of wood which was carved and painted in pretty colours - no two looked the same! The staff were of Mexican descent and were happy to engage with us in spanish, although at times, we found it hard to keep up! They liked talking about Mexico and Australia with us! Food was delicious!
