Slept in and missed breakfast!
Running late, we gathered our gear, grabbed some thing we could eat on the road and headed for Wilmington, NC. Almost 4 hours later, non stop we arrived to a wonderful welcome from Kim as she bundled us into her car, picked up Charlotte a lovely friend from down the road and headed into town so we could catch a historical ride around Wilmington by horse and buggy. Ron our driver was a wealth of knowledge about the history of the town and Kim and Charlotte were able to add some other interesting info along the way.
We walked along the waterfront after our ride, the battleship North Carolina is docked across the river and there are some lovely buildings to see. We went in and up through the only Cotton Exchange Building which now has interesting shops and eating places until we got to Paddy's Hollow - a Magners Cider! Went down so well!
Popped into Trader Joes on the way home and took a wander down the wooden walk way that goes out through the swampy area behind the houses out to the river.
We had a scrumptious shrimp, asparagus and radish dinner with Kim and Yogi and their friends Charlotte and Sam - a lovely night.
We were also able to have some doggy time with Annie, Jasper and Meathead - thank you Kim and Yogi for having us. It was great to meet you both. xxx
