Saying that we started with the hotel breakfast, it wasn't free, but it was discounted. However, the pleb serving took just under an hour to get it to us. During this time we heard someone complain that it was the worst breakfast they'd had, someone else send back their food, a third table mention they'd got the wrong order and another got bored of waiting so left. Ours was good though, so, har-har.
On the road we were heading for somewhere pretty close to NYC as we had to give the car back tomorrow, so we needed somewhere within about two hours drive. We chose New Haven, never heard of it, but it was about three hours away.
As there's nothing in New Haven, we chose to detour to Martha's Vinyard which is the island where Jaws was filmed. We parked up and got the ferry over... We didn't have long so we did a quick scuba dive. Holy schmoley, check out the video from Marks action cam:
Ok, so maybe that video was taken from the aquarium yesterday, nearly had you fooled though, right? Oh ok then.
We didn't have long on the island as the ferries don't run that often so we had a quick look around then headed back and hit the road again.
Martin took to the wheel for a nice easy scenic coastal drive to New Haven, however, after we saw how longs hat was going to take we opted for interstate instead. This meant stressful heavy traffic, then it started to rain a lot, then it rained more. The car is properly knackered now, anything over about 40 sounds horrendous, so we kept it to a steady 70 to be safe. Oh we also had the low tyre pressure warning too, so had to refill that again too.
Once at New Haven we chilled out for half an hour before going for dinner at Five Guys, man those guys do some good burgers. Feeling suitably stuffed we went back to the hotel to research tomorrows activities back in New York.
See, told you it was a boring day!
