Hello

Sandwich MA to Oaks Bluff, Martha’s Vineyard MA via Falmouth and Woods Hole to Oaks Bluff by ferry –

Sep 28, 2013

It’s been a day of vastly different views of all description and we have enjoyed just soaking them all up. Thankfully it stayed dry in spite of looking threatening for a good part of the day and then this afternoon the sun broke through, lovely.



A church and house around the square in Falmouth a beautiful little village dating back to the 1,600’s



Coffee on the sidewalk was a delight and to prove fall /autumn has begun we had gently falling leaves around us as we sat



We walked down to the street of Woods Hole while we waited to board the ferry and this was the rear of some buildings which appealed to me. Very quirky.



A ship and tug in the harbour at Woods Hole



Some rigging work under way as we approached Oaks Bluff



Some of the beautiful houses on Ocean Avenue overlooking Ocean Park and the Bandstand



We found Hansel and Gretel’s house amongst the many hundreds of ‘Gingerbread houses’



The Methodist Tabernacle – open to the air and seats several thousand. An awesome sight



A view of the wharf in Oaks Bluff

Bits and Bobs:



Now I can understand the skateboard and mopeds but motorbikes? Come on!



A sign on the waterfront where many restaurants and bars are located. We saw it before we headed to Nancy’s for a delicious dinner

Last 2 night’s Accommodation:



The Windfall House
108 Main Street (Rte.130)
Sandwich Massachusetts 02563

An historic old Inn which we had the run of as we were the only guests for the first night and not a lot different the second so spread ourselves out in the sitting room which was lovely. Small quirky rooms but comfortable. Delicious breakfast included and also complimentary afternoon drink which was welcome. Comfortable bed and friendly helpful hosts with terrific dinner recommendations. A lovely stay.
