I left Boston on the 20th - gutted to leave to be honest but my next location lodgings booked is non refundable and I deliberately chose it to be a midway point between Boston and Cape Cod to get a break driving wise.
Picked up my next car hire, got it back to my hotel to pick up luggage (remember my suitcase is knackered and only has 2 wheels - on opposite sides!) and then headed to Providence in Rhode Island.
Once I got there I just needed a veggie day - think it was maybe the fact that my gps wanted to take me down a street that I wasn’t allowed to go down and I went round in circles for a while just trying to get to my hotel - aaarrrrghh!
So I stayed all day in hotel and just watched movies ;o)
On the 21st I drove to Newport in Rhode Island - the drive over the bridge to Newport was simply stunning and I really wish I could have taken photos as I was driving over it (forgot to put on my dashcam - doh) as it was gorgeous; need to imprint in memory instead :o) Wandered round Newport and for the first time had a wee spending spree at the shops - 2 tops, 1 pair of earrings and a face cream from Sephora later I was happy (well I have had a lot of freebies off them over the last couple of weeks!).
After a video chat with my neices - Emma’s 8th Birthday (where has the time gone?) I walked the cliff walk (not as dangerous as it sounds; this is me we’re talking about!). It’s a 3.5 mile walkway (each way) that borders the shoreline and you get to see all the Newport Mansions - the views were amazing - but I am (only slightly) ashamed to say I didn’t go right to the end as it got a bit rocky and dodgy under foot near the end and I am a bit of a woose, and remember I am alone (so no hand to hold!); so I turned back at this point!
I then headed on to West Yarmouth (Cape Cod) which ended up being about a 2 hour drive, so got here the back of 7pm. Think I am in party central hotel - joy! there are lots of groups of golfing men. I heard the loveliest conversation outside my door from my neighbours about 11pm: ‘maybe I’ll go down to the jacuzzi and see if I can get myself a lady tonight - mind you, they are all probably about 50 lbs overweight so maybe not’ - just fills your heart with love for the opposite sex eh?!
