Day 27: Saturday into Pennsylvania

As we set off today we had no firm plan, but knew it involved Gettysburg, then maybe Hershey and not-sure where-else.

The white on the road is not snow. It’s salt to de-ice the road.

After a brief stop in Gettyburg we continued on. Another Civil War museum isn’t really required at the moment.

Our next stop could have been a Griswalds at Wallyworld experience – we weren’t quite sure how it would go. We were heading at Hershey’s chocolate factory, but being Saturday we weren’t sure what we would be able to see. The web site said they were open, so off we went.

We arrived to one of the memorable experiences of the trip. Apparently we weren’t going to Hershey’s chocolate factory, but off Cocoa Ave, onto Chocolate World Way, Hershey’s Chocolate World. A full blown chocolate theme park with tours in a little chocolate-mobile and a gift shop that was as big as your average Coles store.

This is ridiculous.

A few kilos of chocolate later we were on our way again, into Lancaster County. Amish Country. Town of Intercourse. (Yes, you read that correctly!)

Dinner tonight was (again) one of the best so far. A smokehouse with beef brisket and the best pulled pork ever. Yum.
