I was warned about traffic driving from New Jersey, through New York, to Connecticut. I have driven in Brasil but the turnpikes, traffic, add a severe thunderstorm and accidents it was quite a challenge and am proud that I got through, although at one stage I was wondering where I could find someone to drive me out of this area. I was going around in circles as I kept missing the turnpike. I don’t remember how many times I went past the Metlife Stadium, the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets. Almost enough time for a game.

Frustrated I just drove away from that turnpike and Siri took me another route away from the Washington Bridge. I had left Atlantic City at 10:00am and planned on being in West Haven Connecticut by around 5:30pm. After 10 hours on the road, I arrived at 8:00pm.

However, I did get to see some lovely sights along the way, once again, because I turned off the toll roads on the GPS.

Sea Bright is now the place with the biggest homes I have seen. This exclusive area has a road which divides the ocean from the homes and the rear of the homes back onto the river. Some parts of the road there is an extra lane where you could park, but there are signs all the way along “no stopping and no parking” and I realise it is so that you cannot photograph the mansions. These are a couple of small ones I snuck.

Then down the road a little further there are parking areas across the road from the homes, but they are all private parking for the residents. I understand that there are 7 beach clubs and only members can attend and use the parking.

Above is the private beach access across the road from each house.

I like the cute bus stop on the shopping strip.
