Entry was $28 each, tours were extra. The pamphlet issued with the tickets was enough information for a self guided tour of the property.
It was a beautiful day for a walk, and it is a huge property with substantial gardens, lakes and historic buildings.
We unexpectedly came across some alligators! They didn't seem too concerned by us, and they were magnificent up close.
We had a great lunch at the restaurant on the property and the drive back to town for another walk around the streets to check out the amazing houses and lanes.
There were lots of people about as there was a cruise ship in port. It was a hot, sunny day and happy hour beer and oysters at 'Pearlz' on East Bay Street were very enjoyable. $7 for a dozen large Texan oysters and $2.50 schooners of local ale, and a sidewalk table.
I retired for a quick nap and Dom chatted to some friendly gentlemen at the cigar bar.
We'd spied an Italian restaurant that had jazz music so we took a seat at the bar and enjoyed the tunes, a glass of red and some spicy calamari.
We've really enjoyed Charleston. There are so many restaurants and bars that you'd need a lengthy stay to even get through your top choices. The prices are about the same as in Oz, but the serves are quite large.
