Hilton Head 24 April

Startar dagen med ett besök på ön Hilton Head. Givetvis en helt underbar fyr i bakgrunden.


Hilton Head Island with the beautiful lighthouse and boats i the background.Completed in 1970, this was the first privately financed lighthouse to be built since the early 1800s. Visitors who climb the lighthouse steps will find an excellent spot from which to view Hilton Head Island.

We continue our journey towards Beaufort and go for a stroll along the road of beautiful Southern homes.


Beaufort a movieset for productions like Forrest Gump, GI Jane, Rules of engagement and many more. We stop by the chocolate tree for some free samples.
MOMMA ALWAYS SAID:
"Life is like a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get"
Next stop a cozy coffee place real cold coffee frappuccinos. We sit outside on the porch watching the beautiful settings. This is life sipping ice-cold mochafrappes twisting your toes... We're trying hard to stay the night in the Beaufort area. But because of the graduation for the marines (the marines trains on Parris Island in Beaufort). We won´t find a place to stay in town or close by. Everywhere you go you can read "We support our troops". So typical for the South I never seen those signs before..."In the marine corps, We accomplish great things for our nation and it´s people, and we do so together". I'm having a hard time to understand what so great about the marines...Finally after some driving we find a motel to stay the night.
