Day Three getting out of Boston

We had a quick cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts... and a donut  and then with our pretty heavy cases got on  to the trolley / tram   to go to the airport. As it was  a sunday, and quite early,  the trolley busses were quite empty, we did  all the transfers  eventually  to a coach which was both electric and then diesel and got to the airport. On to another courtesy bus to the car hire section where we  did all the required paperwork and collected our hire car. This was the first time I  have driven in USA and I was anxious about it, but  as we have driven in France and Spain  it was not too bad. Getting out of the airport  was not too difficult but there were a few minor ( u turn and a wrong exit from the  main road) to contend with.

We had a very good drive down to Plymouth had a look at the plymouth rock which I  thought was brought from Plymouth UK,,, doh ,  but of course it was not! and saw the replica Mayflower. A nice walk around the old town, looked in a couple of antique shops saw a couple of french comtouise long case clocks then back on the road to Eastham

Route six to Cape Cod was good  traffic was all going the other way perhaps they knew I was on the road. We found our Air B and B    after a few minor mishaps  got the car into their drive.   Evening meal was at Wellfleet 'the bookstore'  which was very good.  a short walk on the beach and we returned to the  B and B
