This place is absolutely amazing. Not only is the historic triangle ascetically pleasing to the eye, the history of this little gem could be pondered upon for weeks!
The pictures in this blog go; Yorktown, Williamsburg, Jamestown. ENJOY.

| Welcome to the Yorktown blog entry |
The history is one thing; the beach is another; although it is DEAD FLAT is was a very pleasurable way to spend some time relaxing.. It did however, remind me of how long it has been since I have had a decent surf.

| Being sent pictures like these hurts; Mangawhai PUMPPPPPPPING! |
But anyway.....

| You have got to love the MPS - 7.5knots in 4-7knots of wind. |

On the bus to Williamsburg;
Have you ever fallen asleep on a bus and woken up in the 1700's? We have....
 |
| Colonial Parkway was insane (the roadway that connects the historic triangle). It was flat and absorbingly covered in dense bush. It felt like home. We all liked it! |
