During our trip we've met a lot of great people. We discussed with them our plans and learned what else we would like to visit. Some people were in South America and talked a lot about weather in Patagonia, Argentina, rain forests etc. Everybody said that we should also visit…

We got to Crystal River and as you know it was a last minute call. I was so happy because I heard that there are manatees and they are very friendly and sociable, sweet creatures. In the morning we took a canoe and paddled along the river to look for them...

We had a very great time during Halloween evening. When we got to Crystal River Juliana invited us to join her and her family to Halloween event. I thought it would be a party with many scary thing but it occurred to be a nice full of playing time for children. They do everything…

I had a little different view of bike travels. I thought that you cycle in the sunshine, birds sing, you find a nice place to camp etc. But it's not. When pedaling everyday, after some miles everything hurts, the sun burns your skin and mind, no birds songs, and there are many…

After leaving Jacksonville we went south to Gainesville. We took an amazing Jacksonville-Baldwin Rail-Trail. We had a pleasant ride until we got flat tire. When we stopped thousands of mosquitoes attacked us but we were prepared this time thanks to Debbie and David :) So we…

Traveling to Savannah supposed to be easy going. The day before we heard a few interesting stories about the city. Houses there were built on old graves, so every place is haunted by ghosts... Our plan was to go to main street of Savannah, River Street and see famous Bonaventure…

In South Carolina we had opportunity to go through the national forest and it was so veeeeery pleasant ride. In Poland you can enter any forest you like because they are all national but in USA we have been seeing NO TRESPASSING all the time. We feel like there is no nature…

We went to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Edenton to get some blessing :) and listen to fantastic music performed by church organist and the choir in which Mimi sings. It's a beautiful and modest, tiny church. It's the second oldest one in North Carolina from 1736. We enjoyed the…

We have met an amazing woman with skills to fly :) Her name is Mimi and she is one of those who say "don't waste your time, do it" :) She took us very high to experience what is like being a bird and now biking seems boring... Anyway, we were very excited and couldn't believe it…

Virginia Beach has beautiful wide sandy beach but in the center the huge hotels eclipse the sun so we couldn't sunbathe at about 5 pm ;) Anyway, we found a great empty beach on the southern side of   Virginia Beach where there were some spectacular houses built on dunes (lucky b…

Another excellent ride from Williamsburg to Jamestown. I think everybody should see Colonial Williamsburg and compare it to NYC :) What a difference! It's a great live museum to visit and actors are the best. You can experience old times in every way, it is like back to the past…

Last time we had a chance to ride along Virginia Capital Trail and we really enjoyed it. It was fun :) The trail is prepared perfectly for biking and it goes through peaceful, green areas. Wonderful ride for about 55 miles and there are a lot of things to see and visit. It was a…

We had a great ride with Michael last Sunday. We went from Stafford to Fredericksburg and there were some climbing on our way. With all those panniers I was moving as a snail but anyway I managed to reach the top :) Have a nice Sunday :)

We had another attempt to reach that nearby road. There were many branches and we followed streambed so it was extremely slippery sometimes. Afterwards we had to rode through river... Watch this video to find out if we made it :)

Got stuck in the woods, we did not want to turn around because the road was about 100 meters from us. We tried to find it but firstly we couldn't go through branches and second time ...
