Today, we did Boston. Traffic jam and drizzly weather slowed us down, but we got there in the end.
My idea of getting the most out of a short day in a strange city was a “Duck Tour”, an 80-min tour on a modified WWII amphibious bus with a wacky tour guide or a “ConDUCKtor” (how clever).

Our guide did a good job keeping us entertained throughout the tour with his wit and wealth of knowledge about the city and its history while we inched our way forward through the city traffic.

After the tour, we raced through the famous Boston Museum of Science. We purchased the “Combo” tickets for the Duck Tour and the museum, but by the time the tour was over, we only had a couple hours until the closing time… Good planning, I know… I think we did a pretty good job covering most of the exhibits. I do wish that we were able to view everything without being rushed…

Dinner is at the Daily Catch. The restaurant is located at the water-front and most of the seating is outside under a large covered area. The breeze felt a bit chilly at times, but the view of cityscape, marinas and ocean was spectacular. Calamari for appetizer, Monkfish Marsala & a glass of Valpolicella for Dawn, Swordfish with a vinaigrette sauce for me, and obligatory Tiramisu for dessert. Probably the best dinner of the trip so far! The restaurant was rather busy and the server’s service was disappointingly sporadic.

Another good day! It’s so easy to get used to a good thing.
