V & K in New England

Im writing this sitting in Boston Airport while K eats her dinner. Our flight isnt til 2250 so we've still had a full day. We slept in a bit cos i've developed a stinker of a cold which means that breathing isnt the easiest and also it has been a horrendous day weather wise. We rolled out at about 1030 and said by to our air bnb, it has been a good one. Our first stop was ihop which was a delight. I got a waffle with banana and K got a stack of pancakes. It was amazing my first waffle of the holiday so I'm glad it was a good one. We decided just to go to the cinema cos the weather was really horrible but first we popped into CVS to get some cold and flu tablets for me. The cinema was a luxury one with recliners which was great. It also had a fun skittles pic n mix, we got a mix grape, apple and orange! The cinema had a wee food court with a Nathan's Hotdogs, a pretzel place and a pizza place as well as the normal concessions. We went to see Jexi which wasnt the best ...

In Boston all day today so no driving at all which is refreshing for K. We saw a tip that even if you're only in Boston for a few days the 7 day transport pass is still good value and this has def been true. We got ours yesterday afternoon and we've probably got our money worth already. We hopped down to the Dunkin next to the tube station and each got a bagel with a schmear and a coffee for breakfast. The weather wasnt great but wasnt as bad as we feared so we hopped on the tube into town. I'd bought tickets for the hop-on, hop-off trolley tour on groupon before we left home so we just headed to the first stop as soon as we got into town. The tour was very good - funny, educational and entertaining. We hopped-off at Boston Common and went a wander about the fancy-pants area of Beacon Hill, apparently the townhouses looking onto Boston Common cost a minimum of £12mill! After that we went a stroll through the Boston Public Garden which was absolutely hoaching with squirre...
