DAY

Kill Devil Hills

Good Morning all. We have a wee tunnel between our "Outer Banks Motor Lodge" and the glorious golden sandy beach.

The Ocean was warm, but decidedly choppy.

This was surfing water, I watched as Ian jumped the waves.

An early lunch at Henrys Restaurant, today was try something new day.

Ians Corned beef hash omlette.

My Grits ( No Thank You ) Fried Catfish ( Yum ) Hot cakes ( Pancakes? ) Fried eggs and Bud Light .. Lunch of champions.

Ian Makes full use of the play area, before a shopping trip to Target.

We decided on a drive around the area and found a lighthouse.

Guided tours available via the online app, only had tickets for much later on in the day.

So we settled for a stroll along the boardwalk.

On our journey we crossed Marc Basnight Bridge which took us to Pea Island Nature reserve, on the way back we stopped and walked the length of the fishing pier which runs alongside for a few hundred yards. The Pier is the remains of the original bridge, constructed in 1964.

Dinner tonight courtesy of "Sanya"Japanese and Chinese cuisine, I tried what I thought was Sushi, a new experience for me, but it was a cooked prawn in rice.

Ian enoyed his lettice wraps and we shared Kung po Chicken and a beef in garlic sauce.

Very nice indeed, now back at base, sitting on our porch with a beer, not a bad way to finish the day dear reader.

A very good night to you xx
