Okay, another hour! At which point we had to stop? Ah right the beginning of the awesome outher banks! Some information about the outher banks? The place where the famous pirate Black Beard searches for an hidden treasure and got killed? The windy chain of islands going up to virginia, far in the atlantic ocean? The place where the brothers wright turned into famous pioneers? The islands where the first english settlers started a new life but somehow dissappered (google Lost colony Roanoke) No, we will not give you information about the Outher banks.

Ocracoke, where we arrived with the second ferry is full of nice buildings, proberly very expensive.
As you can see here:

and in the background here.


And now we had to tell you that we are paddling fast and even faster, so we came into colder and colder areas, we might hit snow soon. Okay this pictures we took in the near of Ocracoke, after a cold night in our tent with our socksgloves.


We had to go north, but we still had the time to see this beautiful lighthouse ind Buxton with its neat museum.


Have you ever saw a deer this close? We saw plenty of them this day. This one in the morning, it follows us quite a few feets until it crossed this street and got safe in the nature.



If you look at this pictures, you can see DoDo next to the biggest sand dunes in the USA! Wow, can you believe that? We believed that and climbed one of them. (quite an workout with backpacks and bicycles after ridin' about 60 miles.)


Here we went to the memorial of the two brothers... how was their name again?


Yeah here you go. The brothers wright!
 

A famous place with of course...


their flyer.


Almost at our destination at the southern shores in Kitty Hawk, we meet these troop. But also another deerfamily and other deers and more deers and than our hosts.


Bill and Dorothy, thank you very much for the history day and the place to stay and the meal and everything! Maybe you will find your way to this blog soon.


 
This bear really wanted to join us to say: "Good buy and we hope you enjoy this blog." Unfortunaly he also wanted to eat us, so we escaped. But thanks for posing Mr. Bear!
Here are some few more pictures from north myrtle beach. We didn't manage to upload them on the last post. Sorry for that.
 
 


CJ, covered from Pablo (sorry), Brucks, Erin (sorry that I spelled you wrong the post before!) , Luke, Cenibyl, Dodo and the cat smokey. Greetings to you! We hope you are fine and enjoying your surfing times.
 
 
Florida, Georgia, then South Carolina and hey! North Carolina!
 

with also great hosts, shown in the picture below:
 

Thank you so much for the stay!


On the road again, passing a lot of neat places and bridges. Going along highways is not at all a beautiful way to see the country, but you can see some quite nice places like this one:


Yes, i thought about buying this car, but Pablo can't decide between this sporty one or the old classic vw bus.


So we moved on with our bicycles until a place called Newport at the house of Alex and Mary. Thank you very much again, we cought the ferry just in time.


Ferry? Yes, everyone who wants to travel along the outher banks in north carolina has to take a ferry from the ceder island to ocracoke.
 



 
 
A windy ride into the wide intercoastal waterway, we think it is called Pamlico Sound.
 

We fought the strong headwind to get to another ferry.


Which departured from this place, where we got something to eat.


 
 
Unfortunaly, our computer Session at this Library will end in about 5 minutes, so we have to end this post now. Hey we will write the next post as soon as possible.
So long, and thank you for everything!

We are sorry for not-updating our blog for the last few days but we had to paddle agains the wind, into cold weather and against the time. So it was not possible for us to use a computer for longer than it took us to get new directions.
Until today.

Well we left Charleston during this beautiful sunrise (well it is a bit dark, but it was beautiful):


Charleston from slightly above:




We paddled about 65 miles to the little sweet town called Georgetown in South Carolina...



... which by no means wasn't our final destination this day. We continiued 20 miles to the Huntington Beach State Park in the south of Myrtle Beach.
This picture was taken after the night in the State Park on our way to Myrtle beach.


In Myrtle Beach we went a bit crazy, because of:

ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!! 



You see what we mean? :)




Michael and the famous artist Peter from Myrtle Beach. (Peter is the tall Guy)


One beer after another beer until dark.


The next day we made our way with headake to North Myrtle Beach, to the amazeing friendly surfer family where we stayed 2 nights and 2 very funny and great days. Thank you so much for everything again Luke and Aaron and everyone!


This is it for the first, we may write the next post lateron to show you the other great pics we took.

Hey guys!
We just want to tell you that our well loved Hiking Boots were stolen last night and now we are stuck in Charleston until we got new boots.

So our message to the world:

       "Don't leave anything unprotected. And we wish everyone not to lose a thing you really need."

Now let us buy some cheap shoes, that we are able to go on.

Your Dominic and Simon

And we say... heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa! We said hey, whats goin' on?


 Brunswick, our next destination in Georgia! This picture we took at the Brunswick library, where we waited for our Hostes Hannah. Yes, the funny Hannah from Hannah and Rachel, two very awesome girls. We had a great time with them! Thank you again you both! I am wondering where we will see each other again!



Hannah and the Germans at the windy St. Simons Island Pier, a nice little Island next to Brunswick.

 

Look at us! Cute and smiling! Sorry for the Arrows. Pablo is just Pablo and not Hannah, Pablo and Dodo and Rachel together (just for the wondering people). From left to right via the between of both: Hannah, than Pablo, Dodo and Rachel.
It was really not easy to go on riding north, but you all know we had to. Between Brunswick and Savannah we earned a big yawning from these Buffaloes and a little cat.



Praying for each and everyone of you was also on our way.


And here is Savannah! Okay not really Savannah downtown. If you look at this picture you are standing in one outer district of Savannah while looking to the 'south'.
 But hey, Savannah is...
Great!! 
You are allowed to drink alcohol on the streets, you can visit many, many beautiful buildings, cafes, cake bakeries, parks, and so on and so on.


These are a few impressions for you. This right below was at the Bay st. from Savannah in an nice little bar.


This is the Bar from the outside and a little part of the Bay St.


The sun is shining, but the wind from the north send us greetings with cold weather, so we had to hunt clothes at Goodwill, where we got 3 jackets for 15 dollars.


And again in a bar, with our hosts in Savannah. That was very funny, perfectly shown in this pictures.
And in this one.


Bye Savannah! (Above Savannah from a bridge that almost directly runs into...)


 

Ron, Debbie (our fabulous hosts in Waltersboro), Naomi, Samuel (two friends who joined us riding and showing us the way to Charleston, our next destination). Sorry that we were not able to spend some time with you. We hope that you had a great time in Charleston!


Charleston and its citizens! Well a few of them, but we both are pretty positive that these are one of the coolest and nicest citizens. Thank you for the great bicycle tour through Charleston. 
 

Charlestons pretty downtown district,...


 ... its seaside with sailing ships, one aircraft carrier and a pier again.


We had a lot of fun in this little sweet theatre!


Smile to you next time! Good bye and stay safe you all!!!
