Charleston looks lovely and sounds like you ate well - yikes on the scary walk and the cyclist near miss though!

Yeah the $8 entrance fee... but then we didn’t have to pay for parking ..
Ooh the wine bar and the meat platter . It was delicious and we pretty much ate the lot! The historic quarter in Charleston blew me away. I couldn’t take enough pics , every house was gorgeous and each one different to the next. Ha ha yeah that walk. Not to be repeated. Proper tourist error. But the restaurant was worth the trip ! Andy was totally converted to pedi cabs. That’s the end of him walking anywhere now

Oh, I do love a pretty building... and Charleston is full of them by the looks of it, and I enjoyed reading the historical boards as well. Really beautiful buildings, it must have been a lovely walk. That looks a nice little wine bar to while away the afternoon in too.
Oh dear, it must have been frightening as you walked into the more isolated areas towards the restaurant. I would have been extremely anxious too. The restaurant does look a nice place, and I'm glad you both enjoyed the food. I bet you were glad of the bike ride back to your hotel.

Ha ha, it was a day of two halves for sure
Yep, we can laugh about it now but just re telling the story of that walk brings me out in a sweat. It was really interesting Lynda, as was Savannah. We learned so much. Yes anxious is a good word. It was a great place but sometimes taxis are better than walking ! Andy says the wine bar was one of his favourite spots on the holiday. It was a great little place.

Wow, some truly stunning buildings today.
Scary walk to the restaurant. I'm a big chicken so would not have done well with that at all. Restaurant looked really nice in the end though.

It is beautiful. Everywhere was gorgeous in that quarter. I think the most fascinating set of house I have seen with all the styles and history.
Ha ha, what are like , rookie tourist error

Loved looking through your photos, we've been to Charleston twice and loved it. The dodgy parts are worryingly easy to walk in to. We were on our way our for lunch, it was only 15 minutes walk from Francis Marion. A guy pulled over the car and said to my husband 'it's fine for you to be here but I wouldn't bring my wife and kids'. Husband had us practically running to the restaurant!

Thank you. Isn’t it just so easy to stray! I wondered if we had over egged it but we really were quite concerned the further we walked. We just felt that we stuck out so obviously as tourists
But that historic quarter ... so beautiful

So many lovely places to visit. Definitely could do with more time in some of them. We’ve warmed to Charleston over time since I wrote this. Strangely we felt the same about Nashville and said we would never go back but as time goes on we think we might give it another try. Let’s hope we can be trip planning soon
