Vacation day 26 – We travel 5,000 miles to find Krispy Kreme donuts at Gunwharf The world is certainly shrinking – but in my opinion there are other donuts that I’d prefer to find in the UK. I remember being very pleased when, by popular demand, we stopped having Krispy Kreme donuts at church and reverted back to our previous supplier. However, I will commend Krispy Kreme on their branding though. We spotted the kiosk instantly. Or maybe that says more about my donut withdrawal issues.
