Saturday 10th May

Back in Boston Massachusetts

Day 1 Saturday 10th May

Yesterday was a very long day! But after battling the rain and wind (at Boston ) as the plane descended and circled a while. Then we had to wait on the tarmac until it was safe for the plane to proceed to the terminal. 

To accommodate the bad mist and rain they had changed the departure runways and so we had a little wait there.

This time our luggage was safely in the baggage area!

Again it took about an hour to sort out the paper work for the hire car…. 

Then sat nav was slow picking up the satellites…. It was dark and we did not know which road to go on … but eventually we got on track and 35 minutes to this hotel… 

Now it’s 5am and I’m wide awake and it’s still raining. More later as we explore Boston. We are shatteredπŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Today as it was raining we drove into Boston much easier in the daylight!

We got on the hop on hop off bus and had a tour of the city. 

We visited the navy museum  and went on a navy ship with cannons and sails 

We visited the scene of the Boston tea party. Only 5 people died in that β€œmassacre”

We ended up on the waterfront and wandered round the quays. I had a fish food ice cream! Chocolate marshmallow and white chocolate bits mmmm 

At last just as we were leaving the sun shone for the first time and everything looked so different.

The carparks are very expensive but at the weekend it’s $25 each day that saved us a lot.

Here are a few photos I took with my phone mostly through the soggy plastic windows of the busβ˜”οΈβ˜”οΈπŸŒ§οΈ
