Total walking distance 56387.355 smoots (95.96…
We are greeted with glorious sunshine as we pull back the curtains. Google says it’s going to be 21c max so I put on my shorts (Chris always has his on, it’s not weather dependent!) And head out.. there’s only one thing to do on a day like this It’s busy out as we artfully navigate ourselves to Long wharf the starting point of various boat tours. We are here for one trip in particular..the search for Codzilla. The boat…
Waking up with sore feet, our breakfast trip is to CVS to buy foot related supplies and some US ‘candy’ Inspired by Koo Koo Kanagroo throwing some into the crowd last night and it being mentioned several times I try the ‘Whoopers’. Turns out these are just slightly harder versions of Malteasers. It’s another rainy day in Boston and we don’t really feel like walking much. We get a Lyft down to the Quincy Market area and spend some time…
Today is the 1st evening of Frank Turner so we decide the day should give our feet a little rest, so we grab a Lyft across the water to Cambridge to the MIT campus and museum. Our 1st stop is a little cafe for MIT breakfast burrito, Chris and I look a little out of place as it is filled with Students all working on their Macs..although we are not really sure how much work you could really get done….
Having spent the week so far drinking lots of coffee, today we set off in search of tea. We hear they have a really good ‘tea party’ down at the harbour. We take a nice stroll (the weather has picked up today) and a stop at ‘Finagle A Bagel’ for breakfast. A fairly average breakfast of their ‘famous egg’ bagle gives us our most impressive view for breakfast so far. Trinity Church was built from 1872 to 1877 and is…
It’s another grey drizzly day as we head off in search of breakfast.. we have high hopes as the weather says it will clear up by 10, but it becomes apparent as we tuck into Corned beef hash (Chris) and eggs over easy with sausage and home fries (me) that this isn’t going to be the case. Taking charge as we leave our breakfast spot Mike’s Diner Chris orders a Lyft to The Samuel Adams Brewery Company. The hour tour…
Our evening was spent drinking and driving. Luckily this was encouraged at A4Cade. A late night video game arcade, serving cocktails and very strong beers. As well as the games and drinks, we also had a DJ mixing various hits, mostly from the 90s. Which suited us fine. I’m not sure everyone else there was even born in the 90s. Although there was a strict over 21 policy. Waking surprisingly early we set off to walk the Freedom Trail. We…
After a long day travelling yesterday and an early night following a quick bite to eat at five guys saw us wake nice and refreshed to greet a grey rainy Sunday in Boston. Not letting the rain dampen our spirits we grab a hotel umbrella and head out. Our 1st stop breakfast at Thorntons, a traditional American style breakfast. Chris opts for Haveneros Ranchos I go for ameretto french toast with a side of fruit for good measure. We start…
2017 saw us, along with a little help from Frank Turner, start a new tradition. The Lost Evenings festival, having spent 2 years based in Camden, is now travelling the world. And this year it’s in Boston. Having never been to Boston, it seemed a good excuse to make a holiday of things. And so it is we find our selves due to ‘ship out to Boston’ for 2 weeks. 4 days and nights of which will be spent singing,…
