I really wanted to go to Chimney Rock for photos. Absolutely breath taking. I really wish we stayed for another day and explored more. I never gave the States credit for having such beautiful scenery, silly me. &nb sp; The Last of the Mohicans.

Reluctantly we left to find accomodation at Charlotte. Will, it was busy, no hotels or accomodation for miles, we drove, stopped and checked many hotels only to find 100% full.
After at least 3 hours stopped in a hick town called Rockingham, got a room that looked like it would be raided by the FBI (at least it was clean). Then got dinner. Well , the dinners here are really big. I ordered 6 inch ribs, when it came out, it was a foot long. Wow, took along time. I had to stop eating. Hospitality was good. "Yowl have a good day now!!!!"
everywhere you went. We left to buy a lotto ticket, approx. NZ $350 million. As you can gather no luck. The gas station had a brown Snake in the middle of the forecourt where this black guy was jumping up and down screaming. This red neck white guy came over and stomped all over the poor snake and threw it in the bush. Rose had down a runner, so funny seeing her run.

Next morning left to go to Wilmington however took the long way around a lake and finally decided to go to Murtle Beach, a real Bikers place. Harley heaven.
