Island Touring

It was another hot day on Cape Cod. The temperature was in the eighties and we spent the day on Martha's Vineyard.

The ferry from Falmouth dropped us in Oak Bluffs where we were immediately besieged with people touting tours, bike, scooter and car hire.

I was a bit uncertain about hiring a scooter and double-checked - yes it was safe, there are no KFCs on the island. It was still pretty expensive so we ended up hiring a Mini Cooper Cabriolet for not a lot more.

The scooters didn't have a lot of power, we got held up several times as cars queued up behind a slow moving scooter.

We got down to the opposite end of the island to see the lighthouse at Gays Head and they were setting up for a wedding there. What a perfect day for it.

After touring round the island, we got the 5.30 ferry back to Falmouth, and back at the B&B had a shower then sat out I the garden with a cold beer as the sun went down. We'd bought a 4-pack of Dubbel from the Allegash Brewery in Portland so had a couple of those.
