You can see the left side has not crested yet…

Nearly 23 miles of continuous bridge and tunnel system to conquer the Bay…

… we pulled in to Virginia Beach. Kicking the throttle back to one level higher on the “Relax” scale.

No more driving till day after.

Started the evening by a long walk on the boardwalk with Sharmila by the Atlantic Ocean. Four miles, to be precise…

This was Sharmila’s first visit to the City of Brotherly Love !!

New York is the furthest we pushed ourselves northwards and eastwards. We will now start slowly climbing down.

After leaving New York, we entered New Jersey and after about an hour of driving stopped at a Starbucks in one of those service areas on New Jersey Turnpike to plot our second half of the road trip.

After a lot of consultations with Google Maps, I think our rough idea is to come down along the coast and enjoy a couple of days of rest on the beach somewhere. But for today, we are going to see downtown Philadelphia, have dinner in a restaurant by the Delaware river and then drive a little more and check into a hotel in Wilmington, Delaware.

Planning is in progress here…
