Reached Halifax, Nova Scotia

We've made it! After 4304.28 km in 51 days, we have reached our destination Halifax.
From Westborough we continued northeast to meet the Atlantic Ocean again just north of Boston. We followed the coast, crossing state borders of New Hampshire and Maine to Portland. There we took (the first sailing of) The Cat to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. We visited Kejimkujik National Park and rode nice trails to Halifax.
We will now enjoy some days of rest before we fly home.

Reached Westborough, Massachusetts

We normally go around big cities, but we made an exception for New York. From Royersford we rode northeast into New Jersey, to Belford, where we took the ferry to lower Manhattan. We visited the 9/11 Memorial and cycled the greenway along Manhattan into the Bronx. The South (and later: North) County Trail (a former Railroad) led us away from the city. We crossed State borders from New York into Connecticut and today into Massachusetts. Apart from a few showers the weather is still very nice.

Reached Royersford, Pennsylvania

After Pilot Mountain we headed back to the Blue Ridge Parkway to enjoy some more amazing views. Meanwhile we entered Virginia.
In Shenandoah National Park we rode the beautiful Skyline Drive. We headed northeast again, into Maryland and later Pennsylvania, avoiding the big cities Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
We had to fix some more flat tires. In Hanover we had to visit a bicycle shop to replace J.D.'s rear Wheel. A crack had developed in the rim.
