Dear All Greetings again from England, with this my second blog entry of my amazing time in New England over the Easter holidays. This one will write about the thoroughly enjoyable time that I had in the very famous Cape Cod, probably my favourite place visited on this trip. It was outside of the tourist season, so very free of the crowds of tourists which apparently flock there in the summer, so... Read Full Entry

You are impressive!
When you told me you were heading to the Cape I wondered if you would get to see anything. I pleased to hear they have more public transportation than I thought. You blog will be a good guide for others in the future. Not having seen the X files or My name is Early I don't know what they say about our motels. I intend to do some research. Cool that you got to chat with a fellow Englishman even if only a few minutes. Next time we are in New England we will stop at Carmine's. I laughed at your story about your return bus and no one knowing anything about it. Sadly, we are a car culture in the U.S. I was shocked when you told me you discovered all these buses. Good for you. I need to make more of an effort with public transportation when we travel. I will learn from you. So glad you are enjoying the trip. Thanks for taking us along. MJ

Thanks Merry!
Thanks for following along my journey with me ? Indeed, I was also pleasantly surprised at the amount of public transport on Cape Cod, as well as other parts of New England. It took a bit of planning, but it was well worth it, and I was so pleased to be able to see the sights I did. Ah yes, motels are very much in my imagination about life in America, thanks to these great TV programmes and films. Thank you for your lovely and encouraging comment ?

This is a cute little town. We've been there for lunch a couple of times.

A lonely wait
I might have been more worried than you were.

Waiting for the last bus

It was a little perturbing I must admit. I was making back-up plans in my mind for an expensive taxi or hitching a lift...!

The Cape
Dave here......we spent about seven months there over ten years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were also there in the off season, so no crowds. Lovely place and glad you enjoyed it!

The Cape
Hi Dave! Yes, I remembered while I was travelling that you had once lived there. I particularly thought of you guys as my bus passed through Falmouth ?

Public Transport
Hi Alex - It was great to read your blogs on your New England travels - we have not been to that part of the USA yet so it was great to have a detailed insight into the area. We hope one day to travel up the coast from Boston to Nova Scotia but no plans at the moment apart from a few trips in UK. Safe Travels - Sheila & Paul

New England
Thank you for reading my blog, and for commenting ? Wow, a trip up the coast from Boston to Nova Scotia sounds amazing! I heard on my travels that the coast of Maine is particularly beautiful. Hope you enjoy your plans for upcoming trips in the UK, sounds good ??

Places that are just names to me
I have heard a lot about Marthas Vineyard and Cape Cod, mainly from reading books, but have no references otherwise. These places are just names to me. Now, thanks to you, I have also seen some pictures from there. /Ake

Yes, I was the same. I think I'd heard of them in films and things, but had no idea what they were or where they were. I'm glad I could also put names to places for you too!

You saw a lot
You saw a lot in your time here. All those bus journeys made me feel giddy LOL. I recall reading somewhere that they named the place Plymouth because that is where the Mayflower left from in England to venture over to America.

Buses
Yes, I was certainly busy with sightseeing on this trip, and I loved every minute of it! I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I could see with public transport - I'd heard it wasn't too good in America. I got to see Plymouth later on in my journey, even though I've yet to see our very own Plymouth!
