18th November- Coventry, Richmond, Harwich, Yarmouth et al

We left the Hotel and unfortunately at the first turn the Sat Nav let us down as it took us down a dead end road instead of the slip road on to the I-95, Ah! modern technology.

A few minutes later we were on the correct road with our plan to drive to the far end of Cape Cod and stop for lunch and then take a slow drive back to our Hotel in West Yarmouth.

Motorway driving can be a little boring and so after a while we stopped to pick up some ‘gas’ where the 50 year old slightly plump-ish lady on the till said, gee I love your accent, can you say some more and what about staying here for a couple of hours as I just luv that accent.  Perhaps if she had been in the early twenties then maybe but not this time. We had a coffee and biscuit and then headed back up the various roads with ever reducing sizes, three lanes each side , then down to two and finally two way traffic and so we think we are almost there.

Provincetown is right at the end of Cape Cod and this town was incorporated by the Brit’s in 1727 and then some years later the Portuguese started arriving and now it is still known as a Gay Town, although we did not realise this until after our visit. Still we had a light lunch in the ex “Post Office and Cabaret” before taking a slow drive back down the coast via towns which are well known in the UK until we reached West Yarmouth and the Hampton Inn and Suites, our home for the night.

We decided to head off to a recommended restaurant to test the Lobster and we were not disappointed at all.  Jennifer had their Lobster served with pasta in a cream sauce and Noel had the steamed lobster with shrimp and scallops with a nice baked potato and a good size glass of Chardonnay, absolutely brilliant . We have tried Lobster in several places but none could equal those we had in Thailand but this was very good indeed, not tough but also tasty and soft. The restaurant was very good indeed with a waiter who knew what he was doing for a change.

Tomorrow is unplanned but we need to be in Boston by about 5pm so as to beat the traffic and also drop off the hire car.

Anyway looking forward to a good nights sleep.
