So, this is a combined entry for Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd July 2010

Yesterday, we did... absolutely nothing (Jay says 'Nada')! Jay spent the day at the pool and I spent the day reading.... that's about it.

We had planned to go kayaking however it was actually too hot during the heat of the day and by late afternoon, when we went down to hire the kayaks, the guy suggested to us that as the tide was coming in and we were not regular kayakers, that it was not the best time to go out. We have decided to take this up as a summer sport on Sandbanks when we get home. Jay reckons she'll feel safer cos if she falls out, she can just stand up as the water will be no deeper than her knees.

We then took ourselves off for a late lunch / early supper and ended up at a 'lobster shack' which was clearly a popular joint. We found it fascinating to watch two little girls aged about 5yrs and 7yrs; each individually making their way through a whole lobster. They certainly knew their way around it better than we did. We laughed trying to imagine Suzi's face if a lobster were placed on a plate in front of her when she goes beserk at 'Portuguese style' prawns with their heads on.

And so onto today, we left Provincetown at about eleven this morning; anticipating we would do a spot of shopping and maybe take a few more photos; however there was Not a parking spot in site; so we decided to say 'good-bye' to Provincetown and head towards our final destination. We are still on Cape Cod, but now in an area that they call the 'Mid Cape' in a town called 'Hyannis'. It's odd to see things everywhere referencing 'The Cape' as for us; the 'Cape' references Cape Town and surrounding areas. We have booked ourselves into a hotel for the last four nights. This is the last hotel and is number forty two of our holiday. Having checked in, we made our way down to the town where unfortunately the rain curbed our exploration. We asked if there was a 'cinema' in town and were directed to the Cape Cod Mall and I thought we had successfully avoided malls and here we are!!! Anyway, we went to see 'Salt', the latest 'spy/thriller' with Angelina Jolie, released today which was actually quite good. We will no doubt be returning to the mall tomorrow as Jay's beady eyes caught something she's interested in. In the meantime, she's catching up on her newspaper reading! So, not may photos to choose from, but a couple for you to look at. We have added a website all about Cape Cod onto the Handy Hints section.

Suz - find Hyannis on your map and put a sticker on it.
