Hi I'm Mike and this is Mike's Road Trip get off the road all right well today we are off like a
herd of turtles and we are heading to Charleston a place we both really wanted to visit yep
okay we're almost entering Charleston and I'm not as excited as i wanted to be as i
thought i would be because i did something really stupid i forgot my backup battery for my camera
and i'm only halfway on the other one i have half battery left hopefully it's half and not less than
half we'll see otherwise i'm really excited to see the city but there is so much photo ops there
so luckily i have my backup camera which i'm holding right now and talking to
so my phone yeah so yeah hopefully the other one would last because i am dying to photograph this
city it looks amazing and by the way we are in azalea's seasons and i know i don't pronounce them
right but i pronounce them a little bit in the Romanian way i guess because we call them azalea
and they are everywhere how lucky to be here in this season huh
do
so here in Charleston it is or used to be known as the holy city and you know why there are actually
plus 400 churches here and we are standing on a corner where there are two very very
close to each other and interestingly enough we are here on Easter Sunday
so we're hoping at noon we'll hear all the church bells
cheers this is easter weekend and this is a lavender martini i don't know why i go this way
because this is quite enough but that's my thing i just go let's try this these these are fried
green tomatoes so and this is sheet crab soup so apparently it's the thing to block in Charleston.
okay
i think they're fried in bacon with bacon they could have been a little thicker i think
there's too much breading
that's like polenta yeah oh that's polenta that's very romantic
tastes very Romanian wow is that rich and good yeah it is good
so
i have to say i think Charleston has definitely lived up to its expectations i have to say it
exceeded mine i didn't have much i expected it to be a very beautiful city it's can i say freaking
yeah oh yeah everywhere you go yeah the houses are incredible yeah incredible palm trees it is
a gorgeous day that helps a lot yeah i have to say we're just on some random street and every
house is spectacular the other thing that really has surprised us is that it hasn't been very busy
at all now granted it is a sunday and it's also easter so that could have something to do with it
we've been walking in Charleston for a few hours right now and tomorrow we are going to Savannah
and we are thinking which one is better i think there is somehow a battle between these two so far
love love love Charleston so Savannah has to come with something really good to top
this out what do you think well yeah i mean i am blown away by Charleston it is
just a beautiful city i mean it's completely lived up to its uh expectations innocent girls
don't mean to scare you but be careful maybe think twice before you walk alone call somebody to take
you home look over your shoulder when you go that way this world might take you to a bad bad place
oh my gosh this place is magical i feel like Alice in wonderland oh yeah
i don't know who are you mr rabbit or something oh wow
what is the name of this garden magnolia magnolia plantation and garden yeah
is the oldest plantation in America in the u.s right i think so yeah largest romantic garden
i'll tell you what if you have a chance to come to Charleston do not miss this place
look at this and we are in peak season for azaleas
it's just they're everywhere in wisteria and all kind of other flowers that i don't know the names
tell you is just like you know some things
let's go down here and see what we find
until we see an alligator and then we'll turn back around why don't you walk first now
i'll just be right behind here i'll guard your back we've seen a number of signs about alligators
so we definitely need to keep on the lookout and you know you hear splashes don't belong here
oh i think that was an that's an alligator oh it is in fact
