Georgia

Yesterday we left Florida, on the sunniest day we've had yet.
I didn't really want to leave, I wanted to go play on the beach
and enjoy the sunshine after all the dull weather these last two
days. I think we've both enjoyed it, to say we were never
planning on coming here. I'm glad we did! On Monday we
went for another walk, on the search for alligators. No such luck,
but we saw lots of big birds like ospreys and eagles and blue herons.

Monday night we stayed in the state parks day use area for free.
We had wanted to spend another night here, but the camping
was fully booked so the nice lady at the desk made a special
allowance for us. The day area is right next to the water, and
we stood and watched the dolphins swim up and down before
retiring to bed.

Yesterday morning we found a super cute little shopping plaza
and made a hot chocolate last an hour while we charged our
stuff and I spoke to mum. Then we headed back into Alabama;
Montgomery this time.

We pulled into a Walmart late at night, tired and ready for bed.
As soon as I parked up, a security guard drove up to us and ask
if we planned to spend the night. He said it was no problem, but
we were in a bad neighbourhood, and we weren't allowed to
leave our RV until morning! He said Walmart couldn't be
responsible for anything that happened to us. Not the kind of
disclaimer you wanna hear before bed. I asked if anything had
ever happened, but he said he wasn't allowed to discuss that.

We said thanks, but no thanks.

We got back on the interstate and found a truck stop.
Safer but noisier.

So after a surprisingly good nights sleep, we drove into Georgia.
We headed for a state park, a few miles north of Atlanta. It's
super nice here. We borrowed aluminium foil of the camp host
to make jacket potatoes, and watched the sun go down over a
pretty lake.
