    & the livin' is easy..

    May 30, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    A couple of relaxing but uneventful few days. We took a 2 hour ferry off the Okeycokey Island (as we renamed it) and then drove a couple of hours to a free little campsite by a boat launch. Bit worried about turning up at a random place where apparently you can camp for free (which isn't a Walmart car park), but turned out to a beautiful little spot. Happy days.

    Decided we needed to do more meandering so stopped off at Willington for lunch then camped at a Grapefull Sisters campsite. This was our first use of Harvest Host membership, where you can stay at vineyards and brewerys for free. We are more than happy to spend the usual camping fee on a bottle or two! We were expecting little more than a car park to stay in but got a fully fledged RV park.

    Next stop was Georgetown, a lovely little historic town on the river (actually convergence of 4 rivers) , for lunch. From there down to Charleston, where we found Porgy and Bess playing simulcast in the park. I'm not much of a musical man but Jo & I love this show and it was pretty spectacular. Tropical Storm Bonnie made an appearance after the interval but we had found the beer tent by then so all was good :)
