On the morning of 21st of March we drove up the coast in direction to Savannah. We stopped at an IHOP (first time for me to have pancakes) and then had the next stop at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, which was more like a turtle hospital. There we were told how each of that poor creatures had turned up there (accident with a boat was the usual reason) and the guide explained to us how they were trying to help them and how the chances would be that they would be released into the ocean. It was very interesting and shocking at the same time. The center is situated on Jekyll Island which has a really nice beach and seemed to be worth a longer visit (maybe next time).

From Jekyll Island we headed further north to Savannah. Savannah is a nice city which for the first time made me feel like I’m in Southern USA.  It has quite an ancient town as well and most of the shops are small little shops that sell art & hand-crafted things so we took a long walk through the city for shopping (nice little stores where they sell self-made silver jewellery). The harbour is definitely worth a visit as well. It seems that Savannah is the home of selfmade toffee and we walked through one of those factories where you can watch how they make it and try some of the products they make. I guess most of our money we spent in a store that was making a lot of different things out of peanuts. I can’t recall the name anymore but they had quite a lot of tasty products!

This might be the place to warn the Europeans that sweets in the States are much more sweeter than in Europe normally!
