When we were in Williamsburg two weeks ago, we spent the Saturday in the historical downtown area.

Williamsburg used to be the capitol of the state of Virginia when it was still ruled by the British. In the beginning of the 20th century the historical inner city was restored to its original state.

A very large area contains the old-style wooden houses, and there are many small museums and actors; very pretty. It reminded me a bit of the Zaanse Schans in Holland. I enjoyed walked around in the old town.

Saturday afternoon we took a bath in the bubble hot tub in the cottage, something that I though was very luxurious. In the evening we went out for dinner the four of us. We are all city dwellers, so we never realized that going out at 21.00 o'clock in the evening in a rural city like Williamsburg isn't that easy... most restaurants close so early! After a long search we found a nice place where the kitchen was open (also only till 22.00).

Sunday we stayed in the Plantation. Late breakfast, swimming, taking it easy. We went home around 21.00 o'clock, and this time it took only 2,5 hours.
