Charleston, South Carolina & Savannah, Georgia

Deep down south!! After Wilmington we headed down to Charleston, South Carolina for a couple of days. We had a lovely hotel right in the middle of town and we went for a walk in the evening to scope out the city. I had been there last year so it was nice to re-visit such a beautiful city. We stopped at Jestine's for dinner as it was recommended by Fiona. It was delicious and the service fantastic. I had the most amazing coconut cream pie!

The next day with weather warnings about hurricane Hannah which was coming up the east coast, and we decided to do a horse drawn carriage tour around the historic district. It was really overcast but humid and the tour was beautiful. It was nice to hear all about the buildings and history of Charleston. After lunch the storm hit and it was such a nice afternoon relaxing reading books and hanging out. Colin & I decided to hit a local coffee shop in between showers and chilled out chatting to the locals. Most of the shops were closed due to Hannah. Steve came down in the evening for dinner then it was a quiet night in.

Further south and we hit Savannah or Slo-vannah as one local called it. It was so hot and humid but absolutely beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and nice and it was a dream. It was a chilled out afternoon swimming and walking round town. The next day we headed out around town and did a lovely tour, saw were Forest Gump sat in the movie. IT's fake!!! There isn't even a bench it's actually a flowerbed, and the fake bench is in a museum. It was great fun and we headed out for dinner that night to the Pink House which is quite famous in Savannah. We then kicked on to a local club, but weren't too sure where to go so the southern hospitality kicked in and we met some really nice people who took us to a place called Bar Bar. It was so funny seeing some people and what they were wearing and dancing. It was super fun and we met heaps of funny people.

After a few days it was time to head off to the state of MIAMI!!!
