✌️✌️😍😍😍😍wow amazing👌
Lovely scenery and a beautiful sky !What a lovely beach and view from your room .An interesting trip !Thank you Lea🙏
Myrtle Beach has hell with bikers going crazy. Lot of law suites between north and south part. Rudeness is never good. You are polite, could have told them to stick it up their ass. Sure is a hot looking Carolina Beach. Liked the vid.
that parking lot attendant was a jerk being a American and rider iam so sorry for what happened ,it is not a place I would go either ,
so glad you finally traveled to south carolina maybe the most interesting of our states
I always watch your videos. greetings from Indonesia. 🇮🇩
so glad you are now in north carolina another of our most interesting and hospitable states
Did you know that the first shot fired in the US Civil War, or the War of Northern Oppression as we Southerners call it, was fired in Charleston?
Awesome, spectacular and beautiful 😂
You are soo right. You are alloud to be pickie with the Hotels. Its there lost. Bad publisity. Thanks for shering.
Why not always take your drybags with you? I never travel without them..😟
I am from the area you are in and I hate Myrtle Beach, we never go there. You are not being stubborn. It probably comes from motorcycle rallies they have numerous times a year.
hallo, guten morgen 🌻 Lea ich habe auch stiefel damit das wasser nicht reinkommt aber ich trage meine hose außen warum ja 🤣 nein was kommt rein grüße tschuss
Scratch Myrtle Beach off the list of places to visit. I like a colorful motel with a funky beach vibe better anyway. Great episode, look forward to next week 👍🌴😎
What a silly guy on Avista resort!
It´s great that the weather has improved.
It’s such a great video! May I repost your channel to the platform named Gan Jing World which is full of clean and valuable videos? I will keep your videos as is for sure. Thank you!
After the rainstorm, you were ready for a wet T-shirt contest.😂 You do know a trashbag makes for excellent waterproofing around your bag. Safe travels🛵
Cool content. I went to school on Charleston and now live in Wilm, NC. Welcome to the Carolinas!!
Love you 😘
Plus yettiz and BIG FOOT
As someone who lives In Horry County SC , the place hosts some of the biggest motorcycle rally’s on the east coast and riders have no one to blame BUT other Motorcycles bad manners
Noch ein schönes Video. Haben Sie schon einmal ein B&B genutzt? Das kommt mir viel billiger vor als immer diese großen Hotels, und oft mehr verfügbar. Danke Lea, fahr sicher und viel Spaß.
Sorry you had such a bad experience. You know the saying hurting people hurt other
You should have looked around more there are lots of places there in Myrtle Beach to park a motorcycle I have been there several times my daughter lives not too far away and we go to Myrtle Beach every time we go up there I've seen lots of hotels with motorcycles park in and around that's a real shame you getting didn't get a chance to stay the night
We love your videos ! Thank you
Yes over the years traveling around the USA I have not stayed at several Hotels because they do want motorcycles in the parking lot.
Tanks
I just moved from Charleston and I love the area and the state of SC. I'm so glad you're sharing its rich and complex history. <3
I'm following the series to support you most of all, and the channel too. 😉 America doesn't seem a very nice place to travel. Stay safe!
Myrtle Beach is a very unfriendly motorcycle town. It always has been. They try to discourage the spring and fall Harley rallies.
Go to the mountains in NC and Tn. They love motorcycle riders.
Hair dryers for drying my boots actually work extremely well, but beware putting it too far inside the boot as they will over heat, I found out to my cost. Here in Thailand we are just coming to the end of the rainy season so have been testing this out routinely.
Hi Lea, I don`t think you live a glamorous life on the road. You decided to live YOUR life and it was a very good decision, for you – I hope and I think so – and for your followers. You share your adventure-life with us – in a very fine way – and I always celebrate watching your videos. You decided well, not longer wasting time with unfriendly people in concrete boxes. All you need is a room where no water gets in you boots 😂or anywhere and a lot of time in the impressive nature – enjoy it, as often as you can 🏖 – it`s a lot of work behind your videos – isn`t it?
I can't wait to get my motorcycle. Great video
So beautiful too
Excellent video 📹 Lea..enjoyed that, apart from the unfriendly Hotel guy. Glad you moved on! Living here in the UK i often wonder about riding around Charleston and North Carolina ( on my T7!), as my brother lives there and I hope to visit one day. I love a coastal road…but prefer the mountain passes! Cheers, Steve
