Charleston


We really enjoyed Charleston.  We have only visited the large cities of LA & New York so visiting Charleston was a new experience with it being a much smaller city and in the south.  We were on a private organised tour of eight people; we toured the historic old part of the town passing many lovely colourful old houses, through the market place and along the waterfront.  We then drove out of town to the Boon Plantation, which was very “Gone with the Wind”.  Also had a talk on the slave culture that was in the area prior to the civil war.   We were then dropped off in market to get some lunch and have a wander around before making our way back to the ship.
