Savannah Thursday

Up and about early again not to miss that plastic breakfast. Actually my bagel and tea was very nice. George tackled a waffle, followed by turkey and egg patties along with turkey bacon. As I said yesterday, we don't have to eat it. Walked it off then took a trolley ride around the area and ended up at Mrs Wilkes restaurant for lunch. This is famous in Savannah, named after Mrs Wilkes in Gone With The Wind. Lines of people queue for ages and are seated in tables of 10. The food is typical southern fare and I counted 22 different dishes on the table. Everyone helps themselves and the food consisted of such things as fried chicken, beef stew, sliced beef in sauce, corn bread, sweetcorn, cabbage, potato salad, okra, beans, baked beans, noodles, spinach, and many more, followed by dessert of cherry or banana cobbler. Good value for $16 per head.
George took himself off to the Mighty 8th Air Force Museum in the afternoon while I meandered around the beautiful houses and shops. I ended up back in River St and took a ride on the streetcar - a very old very well preserved 1930's Melbourne tram. Not much to buy here other than delicious fudge and taffy and lots of food items produced by Paula Deene (who is famous in this area for her food and produce etc). Back to the hotel to do some mundane chores such as a load of washing and to check email etc. Went out for a light dinner at the local Thai restaurant. Oh for a real poached egg on real toast!!
