Day 16
: Spooky Salem..
|
|
We planned an early morning dip at the beach attached to our hotel..The water was FFFRREEEZZING..But we soon got acclimatized.
Rows of empty beach chairs faced the surf awaiting "Germans " ???
Min hummed the last post when Ian realized he had his phone in his pocket.. ( Ian said some words I'd never heared him say b4 )...........!
We checked out & headed out of Maine & into New Hampshire.. We had lunch at Gino's Riverside grille in PORTSMOUTH ! ( New Hampshire )
I enjoyed a Lobster roll , Ian & Min a burger..
New Hampshire gave way to Massachusettes..On to The Salem Inn , we struck lucky with some on street parking & checked in ..
The rooms are quirky in an antique style,,Min & I have the worlds widest bed, I shall need to send out a search party for her !
Within a few yards of our hotel is " The Witch House ".
The only building ( Although restored on the 1940's ) Which dates from the original 1642 & the witch trials era.
We were lucky enough to tag onto Tom's Guided tour ( Thanx Ian ) Tom lives & breathes Salem witch trials & at his own admission, has a tendancy to ramble.
We learned more than we will ever need to about Judge Corben & his Salem home.
We moved on to a more Disney Style approach to Salem..The Witch Museum employed shop window dummies & human dummies to escort us & press buttons at each display , detailing the progress of the hysteria & process of the accusations & trials.
Our evening jaunt took us to " The passage to India " Ian kept us amused by having ordered a curry MUCH too hot for him. How we did laugh at his snotty nose & bloodshot eyes..
Time for bed unfortunately we have the bedroom with the bog in it..Ian had better tip toe when he comes through later.. & again later & again...
Goodnight reader xxxxxxx
