Aheville was only a short car journey away from our hotel, so we had a lie in (it seemed like a good idea, as it was Labour Day and we weren't really sure what would be open) and headed into town. We'd been told by multiple people that it was an unmissable stop on our journey and we were eager to see what Asheville had to offer us!
It's a lovely town that once had a big hippy scene. The scene nowadays is more middle-class new age, and the prices in the stores reflect that. The town hosted a fair amount of art galleries and stores, as well as some ridiculously overpriced stores selling 'glastonbury-ware' and other such things.
Getting lunch proved to be ridiculously difficult, the prices were high and the queues were long. We eventually settled for some groovy sandwiches and some REAL orange juice at an (once again overpriced) artisan bakery.
We hit a few more stores and headed back to the hotel for a sleep!
Having great fun reading your posts!
