Our route to New England three weeks ended with four days off Cape Cod, one of the summer more "posh" in the United States and where they house (or mansion) richest families Coast east from Boston to New York. One of the days we wanted to dedicate to explore ollies one of the two islands are south of Cape Cod: Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. We doubt it, but in the end we decided that we attracted more than Moby Dick Kennedy family and we sailed to Nantucket. Just watch the coast of the island led by Brant Point Lighthouse from the ferry we know that we were wrong.
The best way to arrive is by ferry to Nantucket ollies (there is also an airport but for people with money and sooo much faster). The ferry out of Hyannis, on Cape Cod. There are several day, only faster for passengers and make the trip in an hour, and large lenses, where you can board the car but it takes two hours. We took the fast and cost us $ 50 per person and back. Once on the island, the easiest way to get around is to rent a bike. The port itself there are several rental shops. We chose the Nantucket Bike Shop and as it was cheaper and had not ever tasted, we rented a tandem for $ 50 all day. Here's our bike!
The idea was to spend the morning touring the island and visiting beaches and spend the afternoon ollies in the town of Nantucket. We wanted to cross the island from north to south along one of the many bike trails that are marked. But the signs or the map and we got in the store were very bad, and we orient fatal, so we ended up going around for half a block before reaching one of the best beaches on Nantucket: Surfside Beach. It is south of the island, in the middle of nowhere. Next to the parking biciletes of only one house (lucky owner) and a small kiosk where you can buy drinks and snacks simple.
Beach Surfside Beach, like most we saw in this area was a vast expanse ollies of fine sand, very clean. The water was very very cold and that although Nantucket is on the same latitude as Barcelona note are the Atlantic and it's still June. There are many waves but of course the name of Surfside Beach where we could expect ...
Surfside Beach and we're ollies leaving to another beach (this time without getting lost) to the north, near Nantucket Town. This beach would be a more "urban" more familiar and less swelling. Check (and later confirm it with our friends in Boston, and Martha Howard) that the culture of plajta and sunbathing, at least in this area of the United States is very different from ours. Obviously, neither of them spoke nudity and topless (could end up in jail), but we realize that women from twenty-or just not with swimwear or bikini but with a kind of "plajta dresses" and bathe with it. Actually we note our European bikini and swimsuit ...
But what we liked is the town of Nantucket. It's more like an old European you can find in the United States. Cobblestone streets and historic buildings, the legacy of a rich past when Nantucket was the whaling fleet to harbor the world's largest. No wonder then that Herman Melville chose the island as a starting point for the novel Moby Dick (1851), in search of the great white whale. Nantucket has the largest concentration of homes built before 1850 from around the United States and is the only place in the country where all the people ollies are catal logat as a National Historic Landmark.
The only downside is that the car can run through all the streets, the culture of walking is not very fashionable in the United States. Apart from that, Nantucket has preserved very well. We note that it is a summer resort of wealthy families and everything is well maintained. Even the port has a certain charm ...
We say goodbye to Nantucket, satisfied ollies with the choice. From the ferry we have a beautiful view of Brant Point Lighthouse. At this point the second ollies lighthouse was built m
