Day 8 - Ghosts and Gouls

Once again another day in the very hot US, it seems like i have been here forever yet the last 8 days have gone by so very quickly indeed. Today we didn't have to much planned during the day as that evening we where going to be taking a ghost tour around Boston, so we thought lets head to a go-cart place for the morning. This was a great idea apart from the small fact that when we got there they said you have to be over 18 and have a driving licence, fair enough as these where very fast go-carts hence why we wanted to go on them.

So that didn't go to well, instead we headed to a shopping mall for the morning while we tried to come up with something to do during the day. It came round to lunch time still couldn't really think of much, so we stopped in to have lunch and got out the good old iPhone and googled stuff to do in Boston. There where a few ideas and in the end we decided to just head into Boston on the train and go down to the sea front and find something down there to do. Being the main around for tourist of cause we found something to do, we took a boat tour on the 'codzilla'. One of the best boat tours ever, it was basically a giant speed boat and did about 40mph and some very sharp turns, luckily we didn't get very wet however the people at the back of the boat....not so lucky really.

After the boat trip it was once again about time to eat, so we stopped in to get something to eat then went on to a really nice ice cream place for ice cream (ok i know what else would you get at a ice cream store...). After stuffing are faces it was nearly time for the days main event, the ghost tour around Boston streets and grave yards. So we got onto the bus for the ghost tour and watch all these different people dressed up as dead people etc. walk around waiting for everyone to get on, what was really funny about these people is they all had very fake British accents, well one sounds far more Irish but said they where from England, but what i want to know is why did they fake these accents? i guess we have a much scarier accent maybe? Who knows but o well. The tour itself was great they told us lots of storeys about different things that happened as we went to the different grave yards and parks etc. We also went past the oldest hotel in the US which was said to be haunted on like half of floors and the tour guide got us to yell 'your all screwed' to every one outside the hotel.

When we stopped at traffic lights she also got us to on the count of 3 scream really loudly at people working by watch was quite funny.

This was however the point where i found the cameras first real downside, as it has no flash it was impossible for me to take any pictures while we where on the tour, which is a shame because it was alot of fun and would have been cool to show you.

After the tour was over we head back for the train and home again, once again it had been a great day but a long one, i really thinking im going to need a holiday from my holiday...
