USA Tour 2001 back to USA index LOCATION: Charleston (South Carolina).
DATE: 15/08/01. TIME: 08.25
We are in luck, the 08.20 bus is slightly late. TIME: 08.30
No we're not, there are no buses to Charleston from Saint Augustine, no matter which route we take. We conclude that our only hope of arriving to meet the boys is to splash out and get on Amtrak (the railway). TIME: 13.00
We arrive in Savannah where we intend to waste away a few hours before our scheduled Amtrak journey. Both knackered, we try to see some of the sights but end up in an English pub for lunch where we proceed to eat more than we ever thought possible. Payno decides to show off the amplitude of his belly to the entire restaurant. TIME: 18.20
TIME: 19.30
Amtrak proves to be a luxurious experience when compared to the Nazi regime of the Greyhound. Fully reclinable seats, plenty of room, pillows and a man trying to persuade us to declare "Yes! I believe in God". TIME: 21.00
We finally meet up with Payno's cousin and the boys in Charleston, South Carolina. All too tired to move, we have a few beers and get some kip, because we know that tomorrow is going to involve an incredible amount of alcohol... |
