Today my only stopover as I drove down the east coast to Boston was Kennybunkport, another cute seaport village. Very gaudy wedding cake house on the way.

Only a little tree colour change on the way south so far, the weather has been unseasonably warm.

I stopped off to check out Moody’s diner (nothing could be finer)…lots of ‘pie’, very rich cream cakes.

Challenging drive into Boston with impatient locals not giving way and hence missed well planned exits off freeways and in tunnels. Arrh! A nightmare to then work out how to reroute. Finally…got map from cafe, much easier.

Made my way to the Taj Hotel in Arlington St to rendezvous with friends from London.
