Hilton Head to Savannah; 59km 90m vertical climb

Leaving Hilton Head

After a delicious home cooked breakfast we left Hilton Head for Savannah.  Because we had consulted with Linda (hostess and travel planner) we had a short cut through back roads all the way to Savannah.  The approach to Savannah was impressive with the bridge over the Savannah River coming into view 4km away.  When we started to climb the bridge approach the Bicycles Prohibited signs stopped us.  However Linda had given us a backup plan and we ended up on a free ferry across the Savannah River.  Since the ferry was not marked on any maps, or signposted on any roads, we considered ourselves lucky to have insider info to cross the river.  We toured the city on the tourist trolley in the afternoon and reviewed the beers at the Moon River Brewery in the evening.
