Boston Common

Picking up a book on Boston slang is a must or we'll never know what they're saying to us! No "R's" but lot's of replacements with "W's". We heard "You's Guys" and "idears" a lot but it was quite endearing of the people of Boston. They are truly a friendly lot!

We started the morning with Day 1 of the Self-Guided Walking Tour - The …

Today, lucky for me, was a day off. A day was organised to travel to Boston and have a few hours there. Unfortunately just outside Boston the coach had a blow out and we had to wait 1.5 hours for the recovery vehicle to come and pick us up, and eventful rid in to say the least! Once in Boston we went and found some food at a near by Chipotle, some …

Last night we got into boston at 9 P.M. Boston time (3 hours ahead California) and we were hungry so we went to Legal Seafood for a snack. After that we were all tired from the flight so we fell asleep. This morning we woke up and had breakfast in the hotel. After that we went on the Beantown trolley. We stopped at Fenway Park and saw the Big Green …

Nach einer kurzen Nacht ging's dann am Samstag früh nach Boston. Mit unserm super Reiseführer Joe haben wir fleißig die Stadt angeschaut und sind den Freedom Trail gelaufen. Am Monument sind wir die 294 Stufen im Turm hochgelaufen und hatten eine schöne Aussicht auf Boston. Anschließend sind wir quer über den Markt …

Ah, waking up at a reasonable hour is certainly enough to put me in a good mood. Today we left the hotel at 9am and went on a bus sightseeing tour of the city. It was fascinating to realise that this city has so much history in it. The buildings are also so beautiful. We went to the Old North Church which was where Paul Revere organised for …

Expensive. Boston, Is expensive. Yes
it's clean, beautiful and has Boloco. But its expensive.

It also has the hottest hostel known to
man too. And guess where we stayed. We're not too sure if it was a
hostel, maybe it's more apt to call it an old peoples home. They were
every where. Maybe that's why it was so hot, they …

The flight was fine. Virgin entertained and fed us for 7 hours . I watched The Descendants, a couple of episodes of TBBT, an episode of The American Office and …

Sorry about my title. I have nothing against Boston! It's just that we only stayed a day there, so we didn't get to do many activities. Right when we got to Boston, we started looking for the Thinking Cup, a restaurant we heard was good. We had quite an adventure getting there, because our GPS wasn't working. It took hours, but we eventually got …
