We fled into Alabama with our stolen number plates! Alabama was beautiful. We passed through coastal swamp land with houses on the water, people fishing and loads of wildlife. It was peaceful. After a pizza, we cycled out into the sea along a series of long bridges and islands to Dauphin Island. We arrived there just in time to get the last ferry of the day over to Fort Morgan. It was a beautiful sunset over the island and there were loads of oil rigs, lit up in the dark.
There was nowhere to buy food when we got off the ferry, except for a very overpriced and tacky restaurant. We got some food and started speaking to some of the locals. A lovely couple said we could stay in their holiday home that they usually rent out because it was empty that night. We cycled ahead and they met us at the house 3 miles down the road. It was amazing - the guy who owned it built it himself. It was on stilts for flood protection and triangular shaped with a huge glass front and a big ship steering wheel. There was a huge TV + surround sound and really comfy sofas. It was a bit different from what we were used to!

In the morning we got going at a good time. It was hard to drag ourselves away from the house. The coastline was amazing though, white sandy beaches along peninsulas. More big bridges across estuaries linked the peninsulas, we had a headwind but made good progress and by lunchtime we'd reached the end of Alabama. Now we're at the last state of the USA, Florida! I really felt close to the end now.
