We've made it to New Orleans. This feels like a bit of a milestone: 15 days in the saddle, 13 since the official start in St Augustine, and something over 1000 miles on the clock.
We decided to check ourselves into an AirBnB on arrival here for some much-needed admin (read laundry!)
Arriving at around 5pm we quickly set to work sorting ourselves out. Tonight we're in a campsite again before heading off in the direction of Baton Rouge tomorrow (Wednesday 19th October). We have manged to stick to an average of 60 miles a day which is what we need if we're to be sure of making it for our flight to Hanoi from San Diego on December 9th 2022. It hasn't felt too pressured, but we've been conscious of the need to keep pressing on whilst we're fresh to buy ourselves a comfortable margin for error.
The highlights? Probably the beach leading to Gulfport which we followed for a whole day...
And the generosity of those we have met along the way (including having our restaurant meal paid for on two separate occasions!)
