Day 48 15/8 Wednesday Charlotte to Greenville, Sth. Carolina


Paul was greatly improved this morning due to the treatment he had on his wrist yesterday. As we didn’t have far to travel today we decided to head out to a Historic Plantation not far from Charlotte. We went to the Latta Plantation, a historic plantation set on 52 acres. The house and the outbuildings gave us a glimpse into what life may have been like here from 1800 onwards, in particular during the era of slave ownership. We took a guided tour of the house which was restored to the way it may have looked in the early 1800’s and then did a self-guided tour of the grounds and out-buildings. It was very interesting and informative. After this we headed to Greenville. This was to be the spot where we were either going to hand our hire car back or re-negotiate to take it further. We had a very comfortable Airbnb all to ourselves and the boys realised that there was a minor league baseball game on just down the road so after dinner they headed off. Heather and I stayed back at the home, did some washing and watched a good movie.
