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.

Vacation Day 24 – Our final stop for the day From Bosham we went to Fishbourne Roman Palace – which was very interesting. I thought Lanie would find it boring but she was fascinated to see things she’d previously read about in school. I didn’t take many pictures as I thought the official website would have some. Apparently not. An image search on Google turned up some nice ones though.
