Weather 23c - In your face London
I'm posting this from my fabulously good value AirBnB room in historic Savannah after an awfully long trip starting in Oxted, Surrey some 37 hours ago. My accommodation for the next two days was marketed as 'Marginal. Urban. Ghetto. Gentrifying. Sketchy.' Only one of those words really stood out as being even vaguely attractive to me, but the price was on point and my host to be fair, is actually really really nice. More on Savannah tomorrow.
I've posted about the hideous pain involved in entering the USA in another blog, so I won't go into all that again. Suffice to say, it was the standard skull bustingly frustrating experience it always is, and this time I was treated to being marched in to an office for a private interview with a special investigator. 20 minutes of him staring at me and shaking his head at every answer I gave (mostly regarding the Mexican bit of my trip) he sighed 'travel safely' and let me go. Not a great confidence boost I have to say.
I've already been treated to a wide array of colourful characters, travelling as I am on the one of the few means of transport available to the disadvantaged and mentally challenged. I sat for 5 hours next to a woman who chanted 'I'm going to smack you up bitch' at varying degrees of fever pitch with the occasional Mm-mm-mm by way of punctuation. No-one seemed to care too much, they all appeared to have their own personal nightmares they were working through. In truth, it felt more like a day trip from the asylum than a pure transportation service. I guess I'll acclimatise.
I'm knackered now. Need a kip #toooldforthisshit

(Han) Solo - Better than anticipated actually. Paul Bettany was suitably menacing, Woody Harrelson engaging, Warwick Davis predictably short, and Emily Thingamabob from Game of Thrones eminently shagable.
Mama Mia, Here I Fucking Go Again - Awful. Simply Awful. Gave up after 25 minutes. 25 minutes of my life I'll never get back I might add.
The Royal Hibiscus Hotel - Jesus Christ, even worse than Mama Mia. I've seen better primary school nativity plays.
Anchorman The Legend of Ron Burgundy - Awesome and one of Ferrells best. I'd quite forgotten about Tits Mcgee. So much better than the other dross on offer I watched it twice.
Warming up for my very first all American heart attack en route.
Clearly running out of photograph opportunities this early in proceedings

We thought Savannah was very nice and no doubt your experience too. You obviously got on well with the US Immigration officials cos he let you go!
