(A bit of a rarity here. I’ve had to combine two maps to cover the border crossing) This great report came in from John Mills after directing the royal concert from the leader’s chair in England the other night. “Wow that rain!! The horizontal speed of it coming out of the drain pipe! Speaking of […]
It was a warm, dry morning when I awoke, with the puddles outside evaporating before my eyes as I boiled a kettle of water for coffee outside my room, making it hard to believe the storm last night ever happened. There’s lot of info here today due to how interesting the bay is – you […]
The map has returned! At least until we leave Virginia. Although the camp kitchen suffered some losses yesterday, there were also some gains at the free motel breakfast today. They say ‘Breakfast like a king’. This is not always possible. The juice, which called itself apple or orange, was actually green water or yellow water. […]
(Sorry there is still no paper map @PennyHarrison! I hope this will do for now. It’s the map from my bike computer. Maybe I’ll find an old fashioned kind, somewhere, someday, preferably before the end of this trip) Last night as I sipped my beer and enjoyed the dazzling sunset, I decided I was ready […]
What a day. Let’s kick off with the Relive version of my ride down Cape May yesterday: There was news this morning (even on the BBC) of extreme flooding back in Nova Scotia. The town of Halifax has had a ‘once in a decade’ amount of rain, a months-worth in a couple of hours. I’m […]
One night I’m on the 8th floor of Jacob’s apartment building on Manhattan Ave, New York City, the next I’m in a wood in New Jersey. No wonder I get confused when I wake up. Last night I hit a bit of a wall. Trying to write and upload the blog whilst also having a […]
‘I want to wake up in the city that doesn’t sleep’. I hate to shatter any illusions, but when I staggered downstairs, bleary-eyed, at 4.30am this morning, if New York wasn’t asleep then it was doing a bloody good job of pretending. Susie has found this complete video of the elevator ride at One World […]
(This building is a great example of the perspective ‘vanishing point’) As promised, here’s yesterday’s ride into New York as seen by Relive: Last night before we went out for supper, Jacob showed me the wonderful rooftop terrace they have above their top-floor apartment. Of course I was reminded of ‘that film’ again – in […]
(Please bid farewell to the lovely Shell road map, of 1936. I’ll have to find another one for the next stage…) I awoke to the sight of leafy branches waving in the breeze (I slept with the top down again, loving it), birds chirruping, and thought, NEW YORK! I have a feeling that today’s posting […]
(I hope you’re enjoying the dated colouring of the 1936 Shell roadmap as much as I am! Did you spot the Massachusetts Speed Law? ‘Reasonable and Proper’) It’s a ferry day! Few things make me as happy on these trips. Come with me now and see how it all panned out: I slept so well […]
