We left Savanna, GA. At 10 am.
We went north on the Savannah River and two hours later we were getting out the inlet. Rode two and a half hours at 24 Knots average and got into Charleston inlet.
The 3.5 mile cooper river bridge is the longest cable-stayed span in North America. The view of the harbor is unmatched…next time got a get up there!
At 9 pm we took a 5 dollar cab to East Bay St. We had dinner at the “Fleet Landing” on Concord St, located right on the water in a renovated 1940s Navy debarkation point, there is a bar inside and a huge porch. We watched “Carolina Belle” go by. “Carolina Belle” is a public boat tour around Charleston Harbor: Departs from Maritime Center (one block south from the aquarium). A non-stop, 90 minute history tour aboard the 300 passenger yacht, Carolina Belle. Adults $ 14.50
There is also a carriage tour that goes out of the corner of Church St and N. Market for 20 bucks. Didn’t get to do that either.
Another very interesting tour would be: “Tommy Dew’s On the Market Walking Tours” it gives a heavy historic emphasis, provides plenty of photo ops. The walk leaves daily at 11 am from the city market and finish at the battery.
After dinner, Brett and Ximena went out wondering around the French Quarter to “Wild Wings” that ended up being a gay bar…got out of there a few hours later.. took a cab..and went home.
