Boston

Boston – 15^th June

This is our final port in America, after which we set an easterly course for home via Ponta Delgada in the Azores.

As our tour was in the afternoon we had a free morning to explore the town of Boston. The shuttle bus dropped us off outside Quincy Market – a newly restored market which consists of international speciality foods, shops and craft stools. Needless to say Doreen did not explore further into Boston. However, Geoffrey wandered off and took some photographs of the impressive downtown architecture.

After a quick lunch in the market consisting of a chowder and steak sandwich, we returned to the ship to board our coach to take us on a Land and Sea excursion. This was an extremely good tour and gave us an overall picture of Boston, which was similar to New York, but far less hectic.

We had to leave town early as we understand there was a crucial ice hockey game being played between Boston and Vancouver. (Sorry Tom and Jenny, but we understand Vancouver lost 4-0!!!).

Along with other passengers we watched the sun set over Boston as we left America for the last time.
