A little sad to leave Cape Cod, but we managed to get some early morning baseball in before we left, and a final outing on Huffy and Hot Diggity. We contemplated a trip to Plymouth en route but in the end decided to head straight for New York. The journey was pretty good, rather than Route 95 all the way there we went slightly off piste and traveled through some places we might not otherwise have been, and got to see some of the smaller roads that were a bit more...

Started off the last leg of Cape Cod with breakfast at Corner Cafe. All similarity to the similarly titled Leeds institution ended with the name, as have never had egg over easy, home fries or biscuits there. Really busy and top value though and set us up well for the day ahead. Last few days mainly revolved around beach and shopping. Old Silver became firm favourite over the week, and we ended up going there three or four times. Didn't get to JFK museum in the ...

Easy drive to Cape Cod in the end, despite warnings of horrendous traffic. House is lovely, fantastic position 400 yards from small beach on the Bay. It's a large version of a classic beach house with a beautiful deck outside. We soon found the garage too which included our chariots for the week, 2 state of the art bikes, including 'Huffy', last seen during the 1949 Tour de France. Now she only has one brake (faulty), 3 gears (broken) and a wobbly back wheel (de...

We arrived in Boston on evening of 14th after pretty good flight from Raleigh Durham on JetBlue. Appartment was hard to find, even for seasoned taxi driver, as was tucked away on a road about 5 feet wide in a smart area called Beacon Hill. It's a bit like a more touristy Hampstead, with gas lamps (real!) and lots of shops we have no real interest in buying anything in. After our success with Trolley Bus in Washington we decided to give it another go here as got a...

After a drive towards Greensboro on roads that were much more like what I had originally anticipated before we drove in the US, we dropped Keir off in record time as she was not keen for us to lurk about and cramp her style. Campus looked good, lots of facilities and seemed homely. We didn't get to see the Civil Rights Museum, which was a bit of a disappointment, but am sure Keir can report back on this, but drove straight to our 'Pool House' outside Chapel Hill....
