On the way to Charlotte

We got up early today to get ready to pack. In front of the road went to eat at the breakfast cafe Callie's Hot Little Biscuit. The atmosphere here was very cozy and friendly. We made ourselves some cakes and sandwiches. Besides, we had a cup of strong coffee. It was also nice that here the client can choose the necessary ingredients for his cake.

We just couldn't leave Charleston without visiting the famous Fort Sumter National Monument. Since it is on the island, the tour is by boat. The tour will tell the whole story of this place in a very detailed way. Also, the boat will sail across the harbor, so you can see the fort from different angles. It was funny, we were accompanied throughout the tour by dolphins jumping out of the water about a hundred meters from the boat.

We left Charleston and went to Charlotte. The road was pretty long, and at one point we were pretty tired of the journey and decided to stop for lunch at Thirsty Fellow, a restaurant in Columbia. It makes very good pizza and we ordered ourselves pepperoni. We also had chicken wings to taste.

Since we stopped in Columbia, we couldn't help but stay to visit the South Carolina State Museum. Among the permanent exhibitions we liked the most the exhibitions of science and technology, natural history and contemporary art. Also very exciting were the exhibitions dedicated to dinosaurs and the Civil War.

There are many interesting places around Charlotte, but we decided to spend our evening in Windjammer Park. And I must say, we didn't miss it, the views of Lake Wiley are just gorgeous, we took a lot of pictures. Picnics and outdoor activities are allowed in the park itself, there are beaches and various playgrounds, but drinking alcohol is strictly forbidden here.

Having had a good time, we headed into town to have dinner and go to the hotel. On the way, we came across a nice American restaurant called Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. The atmosphere here was very cozy and comfortable. We took some steaks, as well as smoked chicken wings.

Our journey is nearing its end, and we've seen the many different natural beauties of North Carolina and its surrounding states. Today's day is remembered for interesting excursions and fun walks. Now we need to get some sleep and gain strength, because tomorrow we go home.
