April 26th - Mayfield, New York to Boston, Massachusettes

Our hosts for the past three days, Jim and Leejun, left for their trip to New Orleans before we woke. Jim had arranged for his friend, Herb, to take us all to Albany where we were hiring a car from Hertz for the drive to Boston, whilst Bob and Thelma were taking the Amtrak to New York.

We loaded all our luggage into Herb's van and followed him in our Landcruisers to where they were going to be stored for the next four months, before they are shipped to India in late August. We parked the cars and took the photo below, as we said goodbye to our very reliable vehicles.

The drive to Albany took less than an hour and we collected our rental car and said goodbye to Bob & Thelma and Herb. We all agreed that there hadn't been one day that we had not enjoyed and there was a general feeling of sadness that it was now coming to an end.

We left Albany and drove the 170 miles to Boston on the Interstate Highway. We arrived around 2pm and had the time to do a walking tour of the area near the hotel. We saw the Old State Building.

We then walked to see the current State House.

We took this photo of the State House from Boston Common.

A short distance from Boston Common is the Granary Burial Ground, where Benjamin Franklin's parents are buried.

. Finally a photo of the really awful looking Boston City Hall.

We are up early tomorrow to catch our 8.20am flight for London. A great adventure is about to end.
