Monday – Asheville
June 1st, 2010 | Published in Holiday 2010
A lazy day. We drove to the visitor center and got tickets for a trolley bus tour, and then walked downtown. We had brunch at a cafe, and got talking to some locals, one of whom turned out to be a banjo player. Asheville has a lot of art shops and galleries and vegetarian restaurants, but fortunately also lots of bookshops, microbreweries and good pubs. We had a look round the town, and got on the bus tour, which eventually took us back to the visitor center. We bought a map and a book and some CDs of local musicians, and then checked into the hotel.
In the evening we had dinner at the Lobster Trap – R had good oysters, and a whole lobster.
