The two RV Gypsies in Kentucky

After Walking over the John A Roebling Bridge from Cincinnati, Ohio, the two RV Gypsies stepped into Covington, Kentucky, and then walked back over the bridge to Ohio.

Then the two RV Gypsies noticed a barge emerging out from under the bridge, and so they took a few photos.

Arriving back in Ohio, the two RV Gypsies then walked over another bridge (the purple people bridge) which took them back into Kentucky, but this time it was to Newport, Kentucky.

Looking back at Ohio

Welcome to Newport, Kentucky

Hooters on the Water

Newport on the Levee is a dining and attraction destination located on Third Street in Newport, Kentucky. It is located adjacent to the Purple People Bridge along the Ohio River and boasts views of downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River. The Levee is only one block away from the East Row Historic District and the Monmouth Street Historic District. It is named after the levee that it rests on.

Below: A cute little place to get a drink, but it was closed, so the two RV Gypsies ordered drinks from the place right next to it (as shown below the photo of The Buzz). As soon as they got their drinks, The Buzz opened up.

Then the two RV Gypsies walked to go see The World Peace Bell, located at 425 York Street in Newport, Kentucky. It is a remnant of the Twin Towers at 9/11 Memorial. The World Peace Bell is the world's largest free-swinging bell. It weighs 66,000 pounds, is 12 feet in diameter and 12 feet high. Its clapper alone weighs an amazing 6,878 pounds. The yoke in which it swings weighs an additional 16,512 pounds. This magnificent bell rings with a powerful, awe-inspiring, deep resonant tone that is truly a majestic symbol of freedom and peace. Unfortunately, it did not ring while the two RV Gypsies were here.

Near the World's Peace Bell shown above, the two RV Gypsies saw a monument and statue honoring firefighters.

The two RV Gypsies did a quick walk-through in the Rotolo to see the bowling alley with an added full Italian-inspired restaurant. Rotolo takes a modern spin on the traditional bowling alley, featuring two full-service bars and 68 seat restaurant, 16 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, a full bocce court, billiards, foosball, life-size checkers, and plenty of patio spaces to kick back, relax and enjoy this sweet escape.

After walking back over one of the bridges to Cincinnati, the two RV Gypsies, crossed into Kentucky once again, but this time, they drove their car across the busy bridge to find a restaurant.
