Charleston -> McClellanville

31 May 2011

Tagged as: , ,

We had originally planned to leave early and cycle with Earl and Karen, but, having not gone to bed until late the night before due to memorial day cookout and repacking C’s bags, didn’t. That meant we had a lie in, then a very lazy breakfast and didn’t leave until 10, 3 hours later than [...]

Being the day of the champions league final I made sure we left bright and early to get to Charleston with plenty of time to get changed and to a place showing it. We had left over hushpuppies for breakfast and, unlike pizza, they do not improve by eating them the morning after. We said [...]

Cherie was going to take her dog to the vet so was leaving at about the same time we planned on going and offered us a lift off the island. C was very eager to not have to repeat the experience from the day before and so we threw the bikes on the rack she [...]

Savannah -> Hilton Head

As usual there were 2 good options for heading out of town. One took the main bridge out of Savannah which crossed the Savannah River where it was wide and because of it being a port meant the bridge needed to be tall for boats to go under. Although it was not recommended there were [...]

I’ve signed up for twitter and Google Latitude to add some extra information to the website. Twitter is great because it means I can tweet from my Kindle and it’s much easier to write a tweet than a blog post. Google Latitude, recommended by Gregg the guy we stayed with in Savannahh, will update every [...]

Darien -> Savannah

I got up before the alarm at 6 and wandered around outside the sunrise. Google Maps had suggested one route but I found an alternative going down some back roads which knocked about 10 miles off so played with my GPS and it routed us along. We were making good time but then there was [...]

I woke up and was quick to get ready as Charlotte and Ellen had mentioned making pancakes for breakfast and I’d not had any American pancakes for a good while. After making sure everything was packed and ready to go I got to the kitchen where Ellen was doing a great job teaching C how [...]

We left the campsite nice and early to get in to Georgia. We had been told there was a great buffet restaurant just over the border and we were interested in checking it out. Just before we turned on to the highway I saw a “Welcome to Florida” sign so doubled back to get a [...]

Al decided that if he couldn’t persuade us to stay any longer to go out on his boat he would at least take us out for breakfast. He had originally been going to make us his famous fruit smoothie, but Paula, his nutritionist friend, had told him that we needed a lot of carbs so [...]

As we only had a short ride we slept in and got up at 8! It made a nice change from waking up at 6-6:30 every day. Jack provided us with breakfast and told us more about his bike ride plans before we headed out. We had 2 routes available to us, up the Atlantic [...]
