From here I had a little time left so I used it to visit 2 more lighthouses

Bug Light Park <- which was quite small

It just tasted like a regular donut, but it was a bit sad I had to wait for it to thaw/reach room temperature before I ate it according to the instructions (what if I’d been hungry then?)
