Day 2 - Cape Cod





We managed to find a 50's diner for breakfast this morning. Very friendly people, plenty with plenty of coffee and corned beef hash.. yummers!

After breakfast, we drove down to Cape Code, its a lovely ocean front area just south of Boston. From a historical note, it was the first place the Pilgrims landed when they arrived, but after around 5 days and several attacks, they moved north before finally landing at Plymouth (and Pilgrims Rock). We spent the day wandering around the Pilgrim monument they have here along with large displays to arctic exploring and whaling along with spending time on the seafront. This is another one of those places that has 100's of identical stores that sell overpriced merchandise... oh and cocktails... 1000's and 1000's of cocktail bars. Time for a Mojito I think :o)

One piece of advice if you ever decide to visit Cape Cod. Don't go on Memorial Day weekend! On the drive back, we were essentially following the Evacuation route, but as you can see from the photo, I would not like to be evacuating if there was a real emergency! I think 4 hours later, we were about 20 miles further down the road and longing for the convenience of that toilet in our RV again.
