Yesterday we visited a town called Wrentham, a gigantic outlet shopping mall with Hillary, Ashleigh's friend from Wayland. Lots and lots of cool shops and most of it was pretty cheap! We spent a few hours there and after some dodgy asian food we decided to come back to Wayland. We visited Walden Pond in the afternoon, which was not too far from where we are staying (pictures below) and really beautiful. After the pond ashleigh wanted some ice cream because she's a fatty so we decided on Dairy Queen and tom wanted some snapple and twinkies because he is more fatty. We love cookie dough ice-cream is the sweetest!
Last night we decided to book a ticket for the Boston Duck Tour, its an amphibious bus that takes tourists around the city to see all the highlights. After the 60 minute tour, the duck enters the water and shows us the city from the river. The tour was great, an excellent way to see what the city has to offer without walking for hours in 90F heat! The driver was hilarious and had a great knowledge of Boston which made the trip perfect. Its amazing how much history this place has, I guess I'm too used to NZ.(tom)
After the Duck tour we needed to catch the subway to the Boston Aquarium. The walk to the subway was around the Government buildings where there was a huge market place - Quincy Markets. The buildings are amazing as well as the history connected to them. We ended the day at Boston Aquarium, which was pretty much a let down. The small building was packed full of kids and hard to see any of the fish. Waste of moneyyyyyyyy!
