Headed Towards the Outer Banks of N. Carolina



We left Frank&Anne's place on Monday morning, destination today was Cape Charles, VA, all the way down at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay. Rainy when we arrived but the Cape Charles House was a really nice B&B; rain subsided for awhile and we walked around the town, would have been a good place to ride our bikes but too rainy to do that. I've attached a shot of the B&B. Tuesday morning we got an early start and headed down through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Wasn't raining while on that but the skies opened up when we got to Virginia Beach. Have never driven in such a hard downpour, hardly could see the road at times, was glad to get around that area and gradually made our way down into North Carolina headed towards the Outer Banks. Stopped at the Wright Brother's Monument at Kitty Hawk (see photo), then arrived at our B&B in Kill Devil Hills around 3PM. The rain had stopped so we walked out to the beach, I rode my bike for awhile and then we settled in for the evening. Tomorrow we head down the Banks to Buxton (near Hattaras) for our last two days in this area, hopefully the weather will break and we'll see some sun!!!
