Rhode Island – 14th June
Last night we departed New York with a glorious sunset silhouetting New York on the horizon.
Today we arrived in Rhode Island, where we had to board our lifeboats to ferry us ashore.
Our tour today was entitled Land and Sea and we boarded our coach to drive around peninsular, viewing the summer retreats owned by the rich and famous – the Kennedys, Eisenhowers and Roservelts. Unfortunately the weather deteriorated for the first time this cruise and the heavens opened.
After this we boarded our very small boat for a sail around the harbour to view the sites and see the playthings of the rich and famous.
The weather had improved by the time we had completed our trip so we had a quick walk around the town before finding a riverside café for a light lunch, a lobster roll and a burger, after which we returned to our ship for an early sailaway at 2.30pm.
