Oh Savannah, Georgia it was a quaint little town reittirated by our tour guide several thousand times but we had ourselves some fun. Steeped in lots of history we went on a historical tram tour of the town and the microphone our guide had sounded like metal nails scratching the inside of a T-rex's throat aka could not understand a damn word he said! the highlight was the minute he spoke I just turned to look at Stacey and she was like"oh no you have got to be f*cking kidding me" or something like that. Bear in mind we were so tired from the lack of sleep in Florida (see previous post) that we were pretty friggin grumpy at this point. I actually found the scratching soothing so much so I passed out much like a few other tram goers. It's a great way to see the place just a pity about the microphone.

Are we in England?

Finding this cup outside our hotel, definitely one of the highlights of my trip #IheartDrake

Recognise this steeple? It's from the opening scene of Forest Gump and yes I realise I have made quite a few references to that movie but hey it pretty much captured alot of American history and was predominantly based in the south so what are you gonna do?

Notice the Spanish moss mentioned in the earlier post New Orleans

Wine Wednesday!

It was like $4 a glass and an extra $2 makes it a double uh yeah I got a double!

This rejuvenated me after the T-rex historical tram ride and no sleep in Flo-rida

Let it be known that the south does not really offer chasian (cheap Asian food) delights such Thai,Vietnamese, Japanese etc so naturally I was jonesing for it pretty bad! seeing as we hadnt seen anything since the Dallas fiasco so when we found a Thai place in Georgia and I almost shed a tear! Jess and Tommy boy joined us for this magical meal.

Platter of awesome

Red beef curry!!!!!!

Then obviously it was time for dessert, this was about the only thing I could make out fromt he tram tour and of course it was food related. Leopold's Ice Cream one of the top 5 Ice cream stores in the world! On a side note I would like to add I have now been to two of the top five in the world, the other was the China Town Ice Cream Factory in NYC
