No pictures, just a short 3 hour visit. But managed to get a new book, finished a 1000 odd page beast and picked up Clinton’s My Life which should at least keep my going til Fiji. Bargain for $8.50.
As for Charlston, completely surprised me that it was a huge 10000+ student town. Reminded me so much of Durham. Went to the local park, tonnes of students out on the grass playing baseball, football and others sports. Everyone seems to run there too.
What a place to go to Uni, comfortable year round temps, small little town, close to Florida, makes me what to do a phd there!
Got back and went for a run. Typical US highway right outside the camp ground meaning to decent routes to take. For a change though found a building site, and strangely enough a half done tarmac road about the width of a athletics track, but stretching in a circle for about 650m. Perfect – lit up by street lights too. 5 x 2 x 650m, 3.55, 3.45, 3.40, 3.43, 3.35. So not too bad considering the humidity. With the half marathon a little over a week ago, feeling like I might knock out a OK time on that.
Straight back and managed to steal some free wi-fi from some trailer park over the back. Excellent, love screwing over the manager of this camp ground, who earlier introduced himself as the owner and boss, and that we must be out of the pool by 8 o clock sharp, not a minute over…wolly…

First stop: Trek America
64 days - 31 states! I start my travels from New York on the Trek America Trailblazer (http://www.trekamerica.co.uk/tours/tl.html). Can't wait!
Second Stop: Hawaii!
Then 2 weeks in B-E-A-utiful Hawaii!
Third Stop: Kiritimati (Kiribati)
Kiritimati receives just one flight a week. The pacific atoll is only 138 square miles in area - but 70% of that is lagoons! It is 2,015 miles from Tarawa, capital of the Republic of Kiribati; 1,335 miles from Honolulu; 4,000 miles from Sydney, Australia, and 3,250 miles from San Francisco. It lies between longitude 157 degrees 10' west and 157 degrees 34' west and latitudes 1 degree 42' north and 2 degrees 3' north. It is 145 miles north of the equator.
Fourth Stop: Fiji
Then a couple of weeks island hopping around Fiji...
