As the weather forecast had already predicted, it was rainy and stormy on our day in Chincoteague. Well, that's how it is and it's not always sunshine. Nevertheless, we headed to the beach in the late morning and managed to endure it for about 10 minutes. 💨 I think it's really beautiful there in better weather and less 'storm'. And you can go for a nice walk or simply enjoy the sea.
We made a short stop to visit the Chincoteague Lighthouse and found out that the visitor center is closed.
On the way back, we picked up two cute little treats for the afternoon and then returned to the hotel for a quiet, rainy afternoon. Even on vacation, you can just do nothing. Egg was in the whirlpool, I took a nap.
In the evening, we had a delicious fish dinner with a stormy backdrop at Etta's Channel Side Restaurant, which I can recommend. Nice service and very good food.
On Tuesday, we continued to Williamsburg.
We definitely made the right choice with a little detour to Pocahontas Pancake House at Virginia Beach. Finally, pancakes and waffles. We couldn't finish the pancakes. But it's worth it. I'm seriously amazed at what people eat here. At the table next to us, there was a man, not particularly tall and quite slim: he actually devoured a steak with an omelette made from 3 eggs and a huge French toast topped with cream and strawberries. 😲
The beach weather today was better, but still too cold for swimming. Interestingly, the beaches have always been empty so far. That surprises me a little. Well, it was good for us.
We finally arrived in Williamsburg after a little bit of traffic jam. I have to say, it's a nice little town at first glance, but more about that later.
Our accommodation this time is a resort and I'm thrilled: we don't just have a room, we have a small apartment. With a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom including a washing machine. (Which is very convenient because we'll have to wash soon).
In the resort itself, there are various barbecue areas (I'm looking forward to my steak 🍖), pools, arcades, and various outdoor activities.
In the evening, we went shopping and this time we didn't eat out, but made ourselves a salad. Feels good too.
Alright, we didn't experience anything extraordinary for two days, but the text has become longer than expected again.
See you soon with more reports.
