Norfolk looks like a nice city, so we decided to have a lay
day and explore. The weather was great –
sunny and warm all day. Ron had a lazy
start to the day while Teresa defrosted the refrigerator. We unloaded our bikes and rode the Elizabeth
River Trail. It’s a really
nice trail – flat, easy cycling and very varied throughout its 10.5 miles. Our marina is almost at the eastern end so we
rode to the end and were able to ride the whole trail.
On the way back we loaded up on groceries, but we sadly did
not have carrying capacity to replenish our beer and wine supplies.
Teresa had found an Indian restaurant, ½ mile walk from the
boat, and of course we couldn’t miss that opportunity. On the way to the restaurant, downtown was
buzzing, with Halloween revelers in their costumes and an outdoor charity
concert for cancer research. It seems
weird, being on the boat during Halloween, and walking around in T shirts.
Dinner was excellent, although service was pretty slow and
not very good. On the way back we passed
a 7-Eleven store and popped in to see if they sold beer or wine. Surprise, surprise – they did, so we stocked
up and walked back to the boat. Of
course we over ordered on food, and brought back at least half for dinner
tomorrow night. A pretty good day!
