Got up nice and early this morning around 7.15pm, had breakfast and got on the road to Charleston. We stopped in on the Visitor Centre, then drove down to the Fort Sumter Tours ferry. We managed to park up for free (as the tour company's car park charged $5) at a local park opposite the ferry and then walked around the Cold War Submarine Memorial. We caught the 10.45am ferry to the fort and spent an hour looking around the fort that had started the American Civil War, before our return ferry. Once on the ferry back, we found out that a young couple had just got engaged at the fort. How sweet! We returned back to Brian and headed off out of Charleston towards Savannah, Georgia.
