Virginia to Delaware

 After reaching the Northern Shore of the Chesapeak Bay

we decided to stay overnight at the local Cape Charles Welcome Centre. (It actually was more like a huge truck stop over night.)

There was no time to go on a birding trip the next morning.

There was only time for a short stroll to stretch the legs after a days long trip.

The path was overgrown with wild Wisteria vine.

Dixie loved the walk around the green shrubbery.

We stumbled over a relic from WWII

After the short walk we went to bed early because Peter found out 

that there was hardly any space available on the ferries to Cape May. 

Easter traffic, off course.

We only managed to get a spot on the earliest departure. 

So, the alarm went off at 3:30 AM!

Sunrise at Lewes Ferry Terminal, DE

After two and a half hours driving through the dark night the sun rose when we reached the terminal.

A screenshot off the live camera shows as we are pulling in on the ferry's parking lot.

Visible in the lower left corner is our trailer roof.

While crossing the Delaware delta I took a nap.

Off we go, someone had Easter Bunny Ears on their car.

Dixie was tired too, and while Peter was catching up on sleep after we had arrived at Cape May... 

After a walk Dixie was napping on her bed in the van.

While Peter caught up on sleep there was time for a walk along the edge of the parking lot, 

and was lucky to find a Carolina Wren. They never sit still for long.

Tomorrow is the big day.
