Our last stop in the US was Houston. We had a whole day to kill before our flight, so we found the best place to wait – in the 160 acres of the beautiful Buffalo Bayou Park. We handed back the Mazda 3 and said farewell to the USA at Houston airport as we boarded our … More 9 hours in Taipei, Taiwan
The waitress at Bolsa where we had brunch recommended this BBQ joint in the Bishop Arts District. We weren’t sure what to expect, but as it was local we thought it was worth a shot. As soon as you walk in, you are hit by the smell of smoked meat, which leads you to the … More Lockhart’s Smokehouse – Championship BBQ at its best
Dallas has all the stereotypical Texas sights: stockyards, rodeos, cowboy hats, boots and steak houses. But it’s also got a thriving arts district and street food scene, and, as long as you can battle with the 35 degree heat, it’s a great contrast to see both sides of this sprawling city. Downtown, the Klyde Warren … More Dallas, Texas
“Keep Austin weird” – the unofficial slogan you see on bumper stickers across the city, and one that was coined by the Austin Independent Business Alliance to promote small businesses. There’s definitely an independent, alternative feel to the state capital of Texas – not least because of the hundreds of food trucks on its streets. … More The home of street food: Austin, Texas
The riverbanks north of New Orleans were once heavily populated with slave plantations, with the Mississippi being a source of irrigation for sugar cane and the main export route for produced crops. One well-preserved plantation, Oak Alley, has opened its doors to the public. When slavery was abolished after the Confederates were defeated … More Oak Alley Plantation, Vacherie, Louisiana
Louisiana is bayou country. To see the swamp properly, and be in with a chance of spotting some alligators, we wanted to take a boat tour. We decided to stop at Lake Martin, Breaux Bridge, to break up our long drive to Austin. This area is known for having large alligators as the bayou is … More A swamp tour around Lake Martin, Louisiana
Our route to New Orleans involved driving through the length of the state of Mississippi down Highway 61. We had heard that driving the Blues Highway would be more scenic, involving a tour through Clarksdale, the birthplace of blues music, but given that the sat nav was showing a 6 hour journey already, we decided … More New Orleans, Louisiana
Our last stop in Tennessee wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to see the two kings: Martin Luther King’s assassination spot at the Lorraine Motel (now an inspiring civil rights museum) and Elvis Presley’s Graceland. We were staying in yet another Airbnb; this time a pool house in a wonderfully leafy neighbourhood to the … More Walking in Memphis, Tennessee
Nashville, Music City. Home of all things country and western. When in Nashville, visit Broadway, and when on Broadway in the rain…visit Roberts Bar. We did just that and saw Eileen Rose and The Silver Threads. They were great! The perfect way to spend a few hours with a Miller light or root beer in … More Eating our way around Nashville, Tennessee
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited park in the US, attracting more than 9 million visitors per year – that’s twice as many as the Grand Canyon. After our two days spent there, it’s easy to see why. Avoiding Dolly Parton’s Dollywood resort and theme park, we stayed in a town … More Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee
