Drive to Charleston, South Carolina

Saturday, April 8

After a delicious breakfast we said goodbye to Tom and Sandy - what a marvellous time we had with them. During the drive to Charleston the car beeped and a symbol showed a fault with the tires - we pulled over to the verge of the interstate and all the tyres looked ok. Then I saw a display on the dashboard showing one tyre was down to 27psi, so we turned off at the next exit, put some air in it and set off again.

We encountered a few slow patches during the trip where all 3 lanes just crawled along for no apparent reason! We stopped at the South Carolina welcome centre which was housed in the old Frampton Estate plantation house, and the history of the area and the house was really interesting. 

Dinner tonight was at Boxcar Betty's, where we had southern fried chicken and pecan pie - both were delicious and a good introduction to this southern state.
