Month: June 2019

June 16th, 2019 / (107km/64mi) We leave relatively late this morning – 9am almost – and when we get outside it’s already hot and muggy. That’ll stick with us for the next few days according to the forecast. Need to start earlier tomorrow – note to self. Since we’re not 100% sure whether Google Maps […]

June 15th, 2019 / (121km/75mi) Killing a day today. Heading south first, then continuing east and finally going back north again: Riding a huge circle around the Dismal Swamp Wildlife Preserve/State Park. Without even really seeing the swamp once. Don’t ask why we did this… From tomorrow on we’re heading back north towards NYC. This […]

June 14th, 2019 / (86km/54mi) We start after breakfast at around 8:30am and slowly make our way back out of Williamsburg, reversing the route almost that we took to get in. We’re heading South today on a three day circular detour before we will head North towards Washington, D.C., next week. In Jamestown we take […]

June 13th, 2019 / (42km/21mi) Getting up late today. So late that we don’t even make it to the – admittedly always sparse – breakfast at our motel. So we decide to walk to the nearby Ihop and get some sunny-side-ups with bacon and hashbrowns instead. The sky is grey today, but it’s still quite […]

June 12th, 2019 / (164km/104mi) We start at 7:30am today and our first stop is a Walmart nearby to restock on fruit and sweets. For whatever stupid reason I forget my backpack outside Walmart and recognize it 10 minutes later. Don’t know how that happened, but I took it off to stow away our groceries […]

June 11th, 2019 / (135km/84mi) When we wake up from the alarm clock at 5:30am and I look outside, the sky is clear, the sun is up and it promises to be a perfect day. We get up and into the bathroom one after the other, pack our remaining stuff and by 7am are back […]

June 10th, 2019 / (0km/0mi) We wake up late – Tim is super tired from we don’t know what exactly, actually. Perhaps late jet lag kicking in. We have to return the pickup at the rental car spot by 11am. Weather is a mixed thing: overcast, light rain, nothing serious. But we’re so late by […]
