March 11th
woke up this morning and went out into not such good weather. Grey and rainy.
Not cool.
so we walked around a bit and the city is incredible! the squares (of which there are 20+) look like a mix between a jungle and New England. Bit of a strange mix, but it rea...

Enjoyed a bus tour of Historic Savannah and ate lunch at the 'Whistle Stop' in a old railroad car. Had some very good fried green tomatoes and okra along with our sandwiches.

Drove out to Tybee Island to see the light house and was invited by a very nice man to enjoy the ocean from their private beach.

Also drove to Hilton He...

Drove Lesley and family to the Orlando airport and headed for Savannah, Georgia today. Stopped for some oranges and pecans along the way and enjoyed the ride and the scenery. Had time to check into the hotel, do some exploring in Savannah's historic district, and dine at the Pirates' Cafe in the oldest building in Savannah.

Beautiful, lush, Savannah with giant oaks and plenty of Spanish Moss, we felt like we stepped onto a movie set. Savannah is a beautiful coastal town in Georgia with plenty of history and beautiful sights to see.

Our first stop was Wormsloe Plantation. The home of Noble Jones a British settler who came with British immigrants to build a...

We drove
down to Savannah from Charleston, another nice quick 2 1/2 hour drive.


Savannah's a beautiful old town surrounded by old steel works and other
industrial plants. It was really great walking around and taking a few pics,
after a few scenic shots Landy started his habit of jumping up in front of t...

Savannah! My kind of town. We drove into the historical district of Savannah and parked at the Visitor's Center where you can take an open-air trolley ride which is a guided tour through the town. We decided this would be a good way to familiarize ourselves with the town and figure out where we wanted spend the rest of the day. We hopped aboard ...

This morning we went to Charles Towne Landing State Park, SC - only about 30 minutes drive from the RV park. First we looked through a really good museum that told of the history of Charles Towne Landing which dates back to 1670. This was where the first settlers of Charleston made their original town. Then we went to the small zoo area, and the...

We ambled through the forested flatlands of Georgia and into South Carolina past the towns of Rome and Athens, narrowly missing Ephesus and Dracula, and heading for Charleston, on the Atlantic coast. Charleston was geographically on the losing side of the civil war - but wandering round the old town, one gets the feeling Yankee government is a m...

We got up really early to make the short walk to Charlotte's Greyhound bus station, where we planned to get the bus to Savannah. The Lonely Planet had described the city as one of its "must see" places in America, and its location made it a handy place to stop for a couple of days on the way to Florida. I also remembered the TV series, Savannah,...
