South again!


Departed Charleston this morning about 10am. I was woken at 4.30am by a thunderstorm! Haven't heard one at that hour in the morning for years... Drove south on the 17 for part of the way, then joined the I-95 (interstate). Max. speed 70mph in some places - 4 lanes wide - beauuuutiful! We drove past Savannah, Georgia; then crossed the border into the state of Florida. It was the best part of 5 hours to get to St Augustine.
These photos are just two of the interesting sights along the way - the RV towing a pretty pink car; and a Fire & Rescue vehicle - with a canoe on top - marine rescue???

Had an interesting lunch stop at Exit 94 when we went to 'Waffle House' and a lovely, young African-American man served us, with increasing curiosity until finally he asked, 'Where y'all from?' When we said, 'Australia,' he was full of questions and ever so hospitable!

    Any peptic-cola with those waffles?
