An adventure through the states
Good morning UK! We have a plethora of adventures to update you with but let’s start with today, which has been rather interesting indeed! We’ve had a couple of days to get used to our extra hour, little did we know that we would soon say goodbye to it again! Today’s expedition led us through three …
We stayed one more night in Florida after our busy day with the various animals, we woke ready to continue to drive north west. At this point in Florida we change over into the Central Standard Time putting us six hours behind the UK. It was great for us to gain the extra hour, handy …
Yesterday we made it back to the Everglades area and stayed the night. Unfortunately the driving doesn’t let up at the moment and it’s now time to drive up the west coast of Florida. We’ve enjoyed the weather and the drives, despite the length of some of them. We’ve been Gator watching since we got here …
After a fabulous day at the Kennedy Space Centre we decided to head on down to Miami. We had only planned to drive through and stay outside the city as we had a mighty long drive after this down to Key West. As we got to Miami and then drove through, stopping for dinner we …
As I am sure you’ve noticed I have been a bit behind in updating the blog! We are really enjoying ourselves and this is the trip of a lifetime. I have been having some trouble with the wrist (carpal tunnel) and have been trying to avoid repetitive movements such as typing. I thank you for …
Today we reached Georgia! Feeling good after yesterday’s antics, and our little tipple once we finally settled into our motel. We drove on through the state until we reached the coastal town of Savannah. This town is really a mix of old and new, a bit like Canterbury. There are lots of old streets and …
Incredible, exhilarating and terrifying all bundled into one! You will not believe the day we’ve had. Totally unplanned and crazy, read on for more! First things first back to this morning! Last night’s hotel stop turned out to be better than we’d hoped. The fantastic deal that Ben got us meant that we had an ocean …
This morning started with a slightly funny incident, I bounced out of the motel ready to pack the boot and walked straight into the open boot headbutting it! This little incident left me with a lovely red line across my forehead for the entire day! I have no idea how Ben managed to keep a …
Well rested and ready for action! Today’s adventures saw us head up and down some very windy roads to a place called Grandfather Mountain. We had planned to go to the very top at 5945 ft. The weather however, had other plans, with bitter winds and a crisp layer of ice and snow all around, …
After a very deep sleep to recover from yesterday’s mileage it was time to get back on the road. Checking out of our motel in Richmond, Virginia we headed off down towards our next state: North Carolina. I have always been slightly fascinated to see this state, since watching WWF wresting as a kid. One …
Our quaint hotel stop turned out not to be as restful as we’d hoped, although a lovely place to stay, with exceedingly friendly owners, rather bizarrely what sounded like and air raid siren went off frequently during the night. We took it all in our stride and have been laughing about it during our drive …
Last night on our trek up a mighty hill to the bar where we watched the super bowl, we were treated to an amazing sunset casting a beautiful wash of colour across the city, what a sight! My impressions of Washington so far has been that is a beautiful city, the buildings are elegant and …
