David went for an early morning cycle through yet another forest. So many trees on this side of the country. And bridges, for the many rivers or waterways in this part of the world.
We set off for New Jersey on a route that circled New York. A lot of it was on the Garden State parkway. It was not as pretty as previous parkways and there was a lot more traffic. Either there was no welcome to New Jersey sign or I missed it. It was a long drive, but interesting. We saw farms in amongst the built up areas. Mostly vegetables.
We had to go via an RV dealer to buy a new cap for the drainage system. We lost ours along the way, so we made an extra detour. We stopped for lunch at a small Portuguese restaurant. It was devine, I thought of Mariline, because the chicken was marinated not basted and the steak was real pichana. In error, they bought us the pichana for 2 instead of 1. What a happy mistake. Another meal to go. We also happened to walk past a taxi office and arranged for a minivan to pick us, our 4 suitcases and 2 bikes up the next day, and deliver us all to NY, which was a huge stress relieved.
Our last camp site was located in a pine forest and the owner was very friendly. We started our packing and big clean because we had to return the RV by 10am. If I counted correctly we have visited 26 states, not counting the ones we went through on the train. I am missing the magnet for Massachusetts, but I am sure we will find one at the airport.
Chuckle of the day: David on his knees sweeping
What I learnt: Men doing housework are very attractive.
