Boston Saturday/Sunday

Walk around Boston

On Saturday I decided to do a bit of a walk around Boston, following the Freedom Trail, a red line on the sidewalk leads you on this 2.5-mile, self-guided tour of Revolutionary sites, which starts at the Boston Common, America's oldest public park, and ends up at the famed Bunker Hill Monument, but I turned off it around Faneuil Hall Marketplace to have lunch in the Cheers bar, the one I wasn't allowed in the other night.























































Sunday -
On Sunday morning I decided to go down Newbury street all the way to Prudential Center and then go to the top of the center where they have a observation deck. Very impressive views of the city.


A view down Newbury, a very swanky street filled with all the chic shops - the Rodeo drive / Fifth Avenue of Boston -




The Prudential Center building from Newbury.



Views from the Prudential Building on Sunday


The John Hancock tower and behind it to the right in the distance, Logan International Airport (BOS). On the left the Boston Common and gardens.


South Boston, known to locals as Southy.


Church of Science me thinks... got to check up on this. I was listening to an Audio tour guide. Can't remember all the details. :)


Looking west from the center.

Fenway Park in the distance, and a major turnpike as it heads underground through Boston.


Looking over the Charles River to Cambridge.


Charles River and beyond it, MIT - nerd central...


View of the Charles River and the bridge that the duck tours go through.
On the right of the river, the esplanade and the new Bridge in the background that resembles the Nelson Mandela bridge in Newtown Jozi.


View of the John Hancock tower looking East. On the left of the tower in its shadow is Trinity Church.

Then it was off back to the hotel and grab my stuff, make my way to the airport and head home - my trip had come to an end.
