We had another early start, 7:30 bags to coach for our drive to the pretty town of Savannah. We only stopped off once along the way so not a super long drive.
We arrived in Savannah at about 12:30 so couldnt even check into our hotel yet.
We went for a walk round the town, to the main shopping strip where we found a few little shops and had Subway for lunch mmmm.
We continued on our walk and came across Chippewa Square which is where in Forrest Gump the bus stop he is waiting at, on the park bench was filmed. Unffortunately they have removed the actual bench and it now sits in the Savannah Musuem but it was still kinda cool to see.
After this we made our way throught the city markets and down to the River Front where we saw 3 bolts of lightening at once over the bridge before it started bucketing down with rain. I dont think ive seen so much lightening in ages as i have since ive been here.
We sheeltered in the cover of some souvenier shops before heading back to our hotel to meet the bus and check into our hotel.
While we were getting settled we chucked on the telly and Mamma Mia was on so we watched that til the end. While we were watching it though, a message interupted it saying
EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM
National Weather Service
Issued a
Flash Flood Warning
and there was a voice over aswell, one part we found amusing was when he said "If you're driving into flash floods, turn around, Dont Drown"...ok, sure coz i was planning on doing that this afternoon out of pure boredom... what the?!
So anyway, we eventually left the room and went to get some dinner at a little place. Chicken sandwhich with lettuce and tomatoe and bacon...yummo.
After this, we headed back and got ready to hit up Club One. This was a lil Gay Club across the road from our hotel that also did karaoke.. lets just say that no one quite does karaoke like Contiki.
I believe after a few drinks i was involved in quite a few songs... the ones i can remember include:
Wannabe - Spice Girls - Performed by the Contiki Girls
Stop - Spice Girls - Performed by the Contiki Girls

Just Dance - Lady GaGa - Performed by Brooke, myself, Caddie, Stef, Sheb, Swish

So, they're the 11 that i have video footage of hahaha
Not bad for me who swore i wasnt getting up.. a few drinks and there i was. haha.
I believe we got back to the hotel just after 3:30am and had to be to the coach in 4 n abit hours...blahhhhhhh
Gooooooood Times though!
