So I had someone to keep me company in the car for a couple of hours from Charleston to Savannah and it was great to have someone to chat to! Before we left South Carolina, we headed to the angel oak tree which is 400 years old. There is a lot of these oak trees about in the south, covered in Spanish moss but this was the biggest and oldest one I have seen so far, it was amazing and only found out about this because of Sabine and that was because the hostel staff said it was an awesome thing to see.

So we headed to Savannah, easy drive, rained a bit and the weather had changed for the bloody cold again. We parked up, checked Sabine on for the bus and went for a wander around Savannah for an hour and grabbed a hot chocolate from an awesome little coffee shop opposite where the scene of the bench for Forest Gump was filmed. The bench isn't there anymore as it was only put there for the movie, but we still enacted the bench sitting near where it was filmed, same thing really!!

So I said farewell to Sabine and I was on my own again so decided, despite the cold to wander around for a bit more before finding my motel. Well I wandered to the river and actually bumped into someone I had met from the hostel in Charleston!! What a small world, I am just waiting for the time that I bump into someone from back home randomly in a foreign place!

After wandering for about an hour, I started to feel rather unwell, serious stomach cramps and it's not always easy to find a bathroom so I decided to go and find my motel which is about 9 miles out. After getting lost a few times I managed to find it. I went for a wander around to look for some food to buy for dinner and started to talk to Tyrone the Salvation Army bell ringer and he was so happy to meet his first English person that he hugged me!! So I spent the rest of the evening watching movies and looking at what I was going to do next (still no idea).

The next day the weather had brightened up considerably and I was feeling better so headed into Savannah. So it was Thanks Giving and a few things were open, but not much, the streets were quiet and there were a few families out, I stayed for a while basking in the sun at Forsyth Park, watching families play football and other stuff, it was a great day and Savannah was a lovely city, just shame there wasn't more places open to grab food etc.

So I am off tomorrow but for the first time, I am still a little unclear about where I am heading, except South, but that's all part of the adventure.
