    Trying to keep cool
    by bugalugs
    Before we travelled I kept telling myself to pack one of those mini battery operated little fans, as having been in the states at the same time the year before I knew how hot and humid it would be. Needless to say I forgot it!!!! Went into Washington before Williamsburg and they were thankfully on sale in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.

    Other than someone throwing a bucket of water over me the next best thing was this little fan. Here I am fanning myself :-)

    .As always, don't forget your camera. Williamsburg is very picturesque. Nat and I missed the peak fall foliage by about a week or two, but I can imagine that it would be spectacular in late October.

    For walking around the Colonial Williamsburg, small, city backpack and surely bag for your camera - both better water-proof.

    Comfortable walking shoes preferrably water-resistant: like good trainers or better special walking shoes (one example: Danish Ecco are very comfortable and... expensive but worth the cost).
    Sun-glasses esp. in summer and always a rain coat/jacket, eventually less comfortable umbrella.

    Read info on climate in Richmond (some 50 miles west of Willimsburg):
    Climate of Richmond

    Check weather (10-day forecast) for Williamsburg:
    Weather forecast for Williamsburg.

    Take as much film as you can or as large a memory card as you can. The Colonial Williamsburg offer a lot for photography lovers :-).

    For pictures at bad light (weather) and especially pictures of interiors take a tripod.

    Before you go find and read basic historical informarion on Williamsburg in your travel book or in the net. Well, before my next trip to the USA I am going to buy the book "Historia USA. Narody i cywilizacje.", Polish translation of The Limits of Liberty: American History, 1607-1992 (Short Oxford History of the Modern World) by Maldwyn Allen Jones.

    Do not forget to take BIG SMILE :-) Enjoy!

    Bring good shoes to walk in. Whether in Colonial Williamsburg or Busch Gardens, the difference between a good day and a great day is comfortable feet. :)

    There is a lot to see and do in Colonial Williamsburg and many photo opportunities so come prepared to take a lot of pictures!

    We have 4 of the best golf courses in Virginia here, so tee it up.

    That depends on the weather. In the summer time, make sure to bring the sun block.

    Make sure your shoes are fit for long walks. To get the maximum effect of Colonial Williamsburg, you will have to do some tall walking.

    35mm camera with more film than usual. Be sure to buy your film at home because the prices in and around Williamsburg are confiscatory just to stick the tourists.

    In September the weather is great.  It is often mild-warm and gets cold at night.  I though it was great.  Bring some shorts along for the days, and then pants and a long sleeve shirt for the nights out on the town.

  • If you visit in summer, or late spring, carry two things: sunscreen and bug spray. Remember that the settlers were plagued with mosquitos. And a day of sightseeing can leave you sunburned.
