I only had 2 days to explore Boston, I spent the first day walking the freedom trail which takes you on a self guided walk around the city taking in the main points of interest. During this walk I also took in a free tour of the Massachusetts State House. I arrived in North End just as the rain started to pour so dived into one of many Italian cafes in North End for some lunch. The rain wasn’t easing so saw that as a good excuse to spend the afternoon in the shops!
Fairly exhausted due to a lack of sleep and lots of walking I had an early night.
I started my second day by walking to Cambridge and taking a free historical tour of Harvard University led by Sam, a Harvard student. I had a walk around Cambridge before walking to Charlestown to finish off the Freedom Trail which got stopped short due to rain. I saw the Bunker Hill Monument and the USS Constitution before walking back into the city centre.
With very sore feet I returned to the hostel to pack and prepare for my trip to NYC in the morning!
