We had 5 quiet days at lovely Jekyll Island. Lots of bicycle tours to the small town, walks on the beach or in the woods surrounding the camping ground. If there only weren't those midges, smaller even than sand flies in NZ and luckily not as mean, but heaps of them all day, everywhere...
On several occasions we had expressed our disappointment with the way the American towns and cities present themselves, boring and without any charm, often barely liveable. So we didn't expect much for our visit to Savannah on our way North-West to Cloudland Canyon State Park, our next destination.
We had planned to just do a short stop-over at a supermarket, maybe drive through the city center -that was described somewhere as being kind of nice- and then move back to the interstate highway. We couldn't have been more wrong!
Downtown Savannah is one of the most beautiful city centers we have seen on all our trips. We ended up walking the streets and the riverfront for almost 3 hours before returning to the road.
