Warrenton Virginia to Charlottesville Virginia; 127km; 1160m vertical climb

| Horse Country near Warrenton |
Today we had a long day planned. Within 5 km the day got longer as we had to turn around after we couldn’t find the 3rd road Google maps had recommended. We picked up the route again down the road but within 20km we lost the road again when 3 roads had the same name. After flagging down 2 cars to get instructions we finally hit a main road and we threw the Google map away. After losing an hour on back roads we stuck to the main roads until Charlottesville. The terrain is still hilly but gentler hills than Pennsylvania. During the morning we passed through the horse raising area of Virginia. During the afternoon we saw some remnants of the industrial area. We arrived in Charlottesville at 5pm but it took an hour to find the hotel district. Fortunately the pizza parlour next door to our hotel had a special on beer tonight and we enjoyed 4 large locally brewed beers for $8.

Hello there,
I have finally got the code for the internet. Unfortunately it only works in the lobby and is very slow...
We have been in Turkey for two days now and have enjoyed nice weather so far. Unfortunately this hotel is nowhere near as nice as the one we stayed in two years ago. But it will be a relaxing week and that is what we came here for.
And now I am going to catch up with your blog :-).
Love, Tanja
