Sunday July 24 we made the drive to the end of Hateras Island and took the free ferry to Oracoke Island. It is 15 miles of beach highway from the ferry landing to the small village of Oracoke. The village streets are lined with quaint little houses, shops and restaurants. Most people get around by walking,bicycle,or golf carts. We walked around for awhile then had lunch at a little take-out sandwich shop then made the drive back to the ferry landing and back to Hateras Island. After dinner we decided to go to the beach for an early evening swim. Once again the sunset was foiled by clouds. I guess we will just have to take their word for it that the sunsets are spectacular.
Monday July 25 we headed north again in the motorhome. We thought we would stop and spend a couple of nights in Virginia Beach but could not get a campsite at the campground there so we drove on to Williamsburg,Va. We managed to get a nice site at the Williamsburg/Colonial KOA. It's located just a 10 minute drive from Colonial Williamsburg. Quite a bad thunderstorm came through the area Monday night. The storm was reminiscent of those we normally have in Texas.
Tuesday dawned a bit less hot and humid. We spent the day at Colonoial Williamsburg. Very interesting place. Shopkeepers , restaurant people , tour guides and actors are dressed in period costumes throughout the town. They have reenactments of different happenings in the history of Williamsburg. Tour guides and volunteers are available in the historic buildings to answers questions.One more night at the KOA.Tomorrow we head out again.
