Travelled along the Albemarle coast highway to reach the outer islands on the edge of the Atlantic, home of two historic sights. The first was Fort Raleigh on Roanoke island, sight of the first English settlement on the American mainland. Named after Sir Walter, who supported it, the colony only lasted a few years before disappearing into history. No one knows what happened to the 108 settlers. The other site was at Kitty Hawk, location of the 1903 first powered flight. There`s a memorial to the Wright brothers and markers to show how far they got. Now in Virginia beach in a great motel with a lovely balcony over looking the ocean. Trouble it`s zero outside.
