Got up at 4:30 AM at some marina around Fairfield CT (the guards knew), to take off before the rain started. It was freezing anyway, what’s a point to stay in the hammock till later.– Cycled to the nearest hotel to get a nice bathroom, coffee, wifi, etc.
\n– The rain stopped at about noon, and I took off to NYC. I knew it would start raining again.
\n– It did, also the traffic on the road was a bit hard because of the last day of a Memorial Day long weekend. So when I saw a railway station after Greenwich, I jumped in towards Grand Central of NY
\n– Late afternoon, under the rain, wasn’t the best time for cycling out of NY, so I took a train to Metuchen, NJ, where the long green line of the trail started again and went along the river.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n– Pretty Metuchen changed with New Brunswick, where the trail turned into the narrow path in the industrial area, with broken glass and graffiti, then just ended with a fence with no sign. On the map, it still looked like a nice trail.\"Photo\"
\n– I followed the regular road, trying to keep South till the first place with wi-fi and electric sockets, found myself at the greek cafe in Franklin, and arranged with the owner that I could hang my hammock under their gazebo at the backyard.
\n– Barbara, my trail angel, reached Robert from East Coast Greenway Alliance<\/a>, and he came to fetch me!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n– Had a wonderful sleep in an antic stylish house and learned about sewing craft from Carolyn.
\n– Going to spend a day in the library, as they finally are going to send me some .gpx files, so I could build an interactive map of East Coast Greenway Trail.<\/span><\/p>\n
