We’ve had an overnight stop in Charleston, South Carolina and although we’ve been here before it’s such a charming place to visit. The houses and churches downtown are very colonial in style and all very different. The first English settlers landed here in 1670 and founded Charles Town (after Charles II), hence Charleston. The first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbour on 12 April 1861. Yesterday it was lovely and sunny but today was so very different- we got soaked on our way back to the ship!
