Day 0 – Assateague Island
Trying to keep the website updated is pretty difficult when you’re scrounging WiFi from random places with an iPod touch. When we next get to a PC we can catch up on all the posts but for the moment we’ll just say that we haven’t been shot at yet and Reidy hasn’t been arrested either – unbelievable yes, but everything is going good. First night after driving out to Ocean City was spent at Assateague Island where we got destroyed by the mozzies and flies. There wasn’t actually space at the campground but they obviously took pity on us and sorted us out with a site for the night. A few hours later after we had shown Cal how to pitch a tent without it collapsing in the middle, we were on the beach chilling out by a campfire with an American family (originally from Iceland) on vacation. We couldn’t have imagined a better first night to start our trip – free beer, really cool people, smores (fantastic), the sound of the waves crashing on thd beach and the sort of night sky you wouldn’t get in the UK unless you were out somewhere in the middle of absolutely nowhere, like Yarm I guess.
After that, had a pretty rubbish nights sleep and got up fairly early to do the cliché wheel dip and set off for Crisfield, MD.
