Welcome to OBX Land

Here we are, we wanted to come visit the OBX (as the locals affectionately call them), better known as "The Outer Banks".


Another busy day for the two travelers.

We started up in the morning with a visit to the car wash where I patiently "hand washed" the buggie for something that was close to an hour but that felt like eternity! I'm so fussy about cars and the way they have to be cleaned! LOL


After we finished with the car, we visited Duke University (loved it!), and then went to Chapel Hill to see the city center and OF COURSE, Univesity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Randy! LOL).

Duke:

UNC @ Chapel Hill:

Chapel hill as I said before is a very nice place, I really enjoyed spending some time there, especially because it's been such a great day!




We took some pictures here and there in Chapel Hill, and then decided to move on and drive to somewhere in between Raleigh and the Outer Banks. We picked up Plymouth, NC, and my question to you right now is: have you ever been there?!?!? Oh my God, you absolutely have to go, they have the lighthouse on the Roanoke River, then they also have the lighthouse on the Roanoke River, and oh yeah, I forgot to say they also have the lighthouse on the Roanoke River!


No seriously, there's a lot more than that, they also have wheat fields... ;-)


We unanimously (LOL) decided to keep going east, and that's how we reached the town of kitty Hawk, which was in our plans anyway.




Kitty Hawk (for those of you who might not know, just like I didn't) hosts the Wright Brothers National Memorial (U.S. National Park Service), this is in fact the site where in 1903 the two brothers finally realised their dreams of achieving the first successful ariplane flight.


I'm currently writing this post from a Days Inn overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Once again we've been lucky with the room (spotless and newly renovated), for a rate that is almost 50% off what other hotels around are currently asking ($139+tax).


Tomorrow we're driving up north through the Outer Banks, final destination Washington DC.

I've been there already, but DC is DC. We're planning on visiting some museum, and enjoy some of the nightlife.



Time to go to bed now, hope you guys all had a great day,

Nico
