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 sta...

So I messed up with North Carolina and still kicking myself for it!! I left Virginia and headed to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, this is a lovely beach resort, it's a stretch of land that is a string of islands only connected back to mainland by 2 ferries at the bottom.

So when I left Philly it was about 15 degrees, lovely weather, was in m...

So driving to Philadelphia has to be the worst drive so far! I set off at a good pace from Boston, the directions said it should take me about 5 or 6 hours and I decided to go the direct route as it was a bit of a longer drive. I was doing well, the scenery was nice, didn't know where I was half the time and only knew what state's I was in or going through by the registration plates. My registration gets me some funny looks, even if I was Canadian, I'm a long wa...
