Mile 872

 This morning we leave our campsite at the Pocomoke Sound and cross the State Line into Delaware.  Here we follow Hwy-13 / 113 to get to the SR-90 to bring us over the Isle of Wight Island and Bay to Fenwick Island, DE.  Here we follow the Assawoman Bay to the left, and the Atlantic to the right, the along the Indian River Bay to the ferry terminal in Lewes, DE to bring us over to Cape May, NJ.  The check in at the ferry terminal is most different from all the others we had till now, lots of security checks with dog sniffing and visual inspections.  But safety first, those inspections don't bother us, as long as we don't have to unpack everything which could take awhile.  The ride over the Delaware Bay is pretty uneventful, and so we drive from Cape May, NJ to Wildwood, NJ.  Our idea is to follow the Atlantic coast line to Ocean City, NJ and then to Atlantic City, NJ and enjoy the boardwalks and coastal beauties New Jersey is so much known for.  But we are in for a big disappointment.  The amusement parks are closed and look like they haven't been open since last year, hotels, beach bars, and restaurants are still closed or under renovation, and the boardwalks are very much deserted.  It is a picture as grey as the sky today, all what we need now is some rain and the mood couldn't be worse.  So we abandon this plan and follow Hwy-9 North towards New York, NY as much as we feel on driving this way.

All in all a little bit of a disappointing day, and at the end of it, it started to rain.  A perfect ending to a not so perfect day.
