Marthas Vineyard





From the ferry landing 
It poured down all the way from Boston to the ferry at Woods Hole but just as the ferry docked at Martha's Vineyard the sun came out and it's been brilliant ever since. 


Marthas Vineyard - and the sun!
We have packed a lot in in the few days that we have had here. We went to Edgartown where Jaws was filmed - full of ruddy tourists but great all the same. We have also hired bikes and toured around Chappaquiddick. You have to get a ferry to it which takes all of 5 minutes but It's quite different from the rest of the island - quiet, barren with some isolated holiday homes that only the likes of the Kennedy's can afford.


Wasque Reservation, Chappaquiddick
The food has been great -mainly seafood as you would expect from a seaside resort but a bit up-scale from Hornsea! We went to a nice French restaurant on Saturday and had the best seared tuna. We also found a great micro brewery (Offshore Brewing) which also served a brilliant Portuguese fish stew. 


Edgartown - Amity from Jaws (no sharks apparent) 

On our way back to Boston today which is a shame as we have really liked it here.
