Rehoboth Beach, DE to New York City, New York via Lewes, DE Cape May, NJ – 10,290 KMS (on the bikes)
Oct 17, 2013
We had an early start but the hotel made sure we had breakfast before we left and it was mild enough to head out without any waterproofs and here we are in the lnie to get on the ferry at Lewes. Shortly after this the fog rolled in and was with us all the way across to New Jersey and gradually dissipated.
And the front of the ferry as we approach the dock at Cape May one and a half hours later. Happy the bikes stayed put as there was quite a swell on the trip over.
After a lot of parkway (freeway) travel having a coffee, adding another layer for warmth then some lunch and holy smoke we struck multiple lanes of traffic, on ramps, off ramps and roadwork’s then we’re in the Lincoln tunnel and to the guts of New York City and not long after that at our hotel and here I am very pleased with myself.
We had a shower and did some washing then headed out to explore and here is the Radio City Music Hall not far from our hotel.
And we headed for Times Square, heaps of which is literally dug up, here is Norm enjoying the view. Once we headed for the other end we discovered it was much more peaceful and quiet for all the noise and horn honking where things were dug up.
And here is a view back towards the other end which gives some idea of the huge number of people and activity all around.
And a couple of extremely young New York Policemen with me. They were good fun.
And yes its official we were finally on Broadway just didn’t have the names up in lights.
Bits and Bobs:
A tow sign we found in the underground car park which was interesting since we were the only vehicles in it.
And this caught my eye at a service centre, perhaps Kevin could have used this a month or so ago.
Last nights Accommodation:
Hotel Rehoboth

Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971
A lovely spacious room with comfortable facilities and room to spread out even with cases open. Beautiful hot shower and comfortable bed. Enjoyed the spacious balcony as well as the complimentary wine, cheese and biscuits and the public sitting areas. Breakfast was appreciated before we left and we ate dinner at the in-house restaurant which was also good. The staff was great and couldn’t have been more obliging. Complimentary parking above and below ground. Would definitely recommend this venue and location.
