16 April 2019 - Boston USA

Our last day in Boston. The weather looked great but we knew from the forecast that the top temperature was only going to be 15ºC. Took an Uber into town as the plan was to visit Fenway Park, home of the Boston Redsox baseball team, and the oldest baseball stadium in the USA. We were aiming for the 11:00 guided tour. I found the tour and the stadium very interesting despite knowing little about baseball. Baseball is a very traditional game with a very interesting history and our guide knew all the anecdotes to keep us interested.
After the tour we decided to walk back into the city and then on to Quincy market for lunch. Had hamburgers for lunch and then finished off with Ice-cream Sundaes at Ghirardelli's. Our orders looked a reasonable size on the menu but when they arrived they were huge.

After consuming all this icecream and cream we decided it would be good idea to walk home. All up we nearly walked 10km today. Relaxed for the rest of the afternoon and I started packing in preparation for our departure tomorrow. On our final night here we decided to dine at the Helgand an Afghani restaurant nearby - very nice. Watching the Red Sox getting thrashed by the NY Yankees on TV at the moment.
