We returned from a 3 week road trip around (some) of Texas yesterday. We are well used to US Highways, especially Florida, but the size and scale of the state is huge!
We travelled from Houston to Galveston Island (was okay not great!) then Sugarland (beautiful) then San Antonio (fabulous - we stayed in Hotel Contessa right on the river walk and we were within walking distance of the Alamo and we walked to the Pearl area - which was an old beer distillery area now renovated to a smart area with hotel, restaurants and bars) and then we travelled to the capital, Austin and stayed in Tarrytown (an upmarket area near downtown where we visited the state buildings, went to congress bridge at sundown to see the bats and swim in the deep eddy natural spring pool).
We drove over 1000 miles and got a real flavour of the lone state. Texas is well worth a visit.
