Leaving the Outer Banks



We loved our time on the Outer Banks but it was time to leave this morning to come home .


After a night of thunderstorms and heavy rain the weather was calm and dry this morning.


We stopped off on the way home at Bonner Bridge which joins the Outer Banks to the mainland, over the Oregon Inlet.  It is an impressive bridge, just skimming the water except in one place where the arches are higher to allow for larger ships to pass through.


There were a number of fisherman in the water but we weren't entirely sure what they were hoping to catch!


A little further on we visited the memorial to the Wright Brothers at Kill Devil Hill, near Nag's Head and saw the site where they achieved their first powered flight in 1903.
