We left titusville on 15 June and went to Apalachicola in North West Florida, the Florida panhandle. We stayed in the Water Street Inn because we had been before and enjoyed it so went back...stayed two nights. Enjoyed it again. Apalachicola is very old 1950 /1960 America. But it was soooo hot way up in the high eighties fahrenheit ...bloody hot and humid!
After that we went across the state then up to Georgia to stay at Darien. Darien used to be called New Inverness because the settlement was made up of people who had sailed out of Inverness yes that Inverness in the Highlands. A long time before the clearances! They came to defend Georgia against the possible invasion from the Spanish who held Florida at the time. We stayed in a rubbish Hampton Inn had booked for three nights but checked out after one. There was also very little to see that showed the history of Darien cos we was there on a Monday and all museums seem to be closed on a Monday....
We moved up to Hilton Head South Carolina. Great hotel Hilton Garden Inn but Hilton Head is all resort hotels that offer golf and all are very private so you cannot reach the beaches without being a resident. We found our way to the only free public beach but the car park was mobbed so we never got to the beach. Avoid this place unless you really want to stay inside the grounds of a resort hotel and play a lot of golf ...oh nearly forgot there are a load of outlet stores presumably for the little women to visit whilst there men are golfing! Not a favourite place.
