Our big day !! The sun was out and Dolly’s Splash Country beckoned and the original purpose of the trip was imminent. Yes we did it!! We sang Islands in the Stream as we floated around the lazy river in lime green rubber rings, in homage to Dolly and Graham Norton. The park was heaving with WT, but we had booked our own little private canopy so could retire to restore energy. Sad to say that we didn’t bother to do any other of the rides as the queues were too long and we couldn’t be bothered to wait. Our eating odyssey continued though as we munched out way through chilli cheese fries, pulled pork, smokehouse beans, Doritos, giant cokes etc etc – this is so disgusting Gill is desperate for something that doesn’t taste of BBQ sauce!!
Pigeon Forge is known for its outlet shopping malls and so this is where we headed for the early evening. It turned into a marathon shopping trip which we enjoyed immensely. Many purchases were made and this time not of the tacky souvenir variety!! We returned (withID) to the Teaxs Grill for an 80’s evening with loads of Michael Jackson music. We ate at the bar surrounded by tv screens of USA sport, listening to 80s rock bands, eating steaks and ribs. Chatty barmaids made the evening so much fun. Staggered home down the parkway again!! Dolly and the Smokys have been great – sad to leave tomorrow. Nashville beckons and we do have that track to lay down ...........................
