Friday 5th August 2011
We had an early start on Friday as we were travelling down to Boston which was an hour and a half to two hour coach journey from Portsmouth.
We were given a guided tour of Boston taking in the sights including Bunker Hill (the sight of the first battle of the American Revolution in 1773) and the USNS Constitution (The oldest active navel vessel). After the tour we had three hours free time in Boston. There was plenty to do in the City including guided tours of the inner harbour, plenty of shops and restaurants.
At 3.30pm we were all loaded back onto the coach for the next leg of our journey, the five to six hours from Boston to New York. There was a stop off at a fast food court for a quick break. After food and a comfort break we got back onto the coach just as a couple of police cruisers turned up to question a couple of guys; by the time we left the food court ten police cars had turned up with a couple of the policemen carrying some fairly serious hardware!
Back on the road again and the daylight slowly faded and the bright lights of New York eventually came into view. A buzz of anticipation ran through the coach as we pulled up to the Sheraton Hotel, New Jersey around 9.30pm.
