travelling

Hoping to visit Cape Cod in September. Thanks to all who replied to previous post. We will arrive at Logan and apart from flying up to Cape Cod what is the best way to travel between Logan and the Cape (we won%26#39;t be hiring a car)? Our travel agent suggested Falmouth as a destination but had never been. Does anyone have any other (polite) suggestions for English pensioners?

Not sure what more we can tell you. Your question on the previous post was answered quite extensively. You still haven%26#39;t told us why you have chosen the Cape or what your interests are. As we said it is not easy to get around without a car. Falmouth is very nice, but what do you plan to do there. You can take the ferry across to Martha%26#39;s Vineyard for the day. As we told you previously you can take the bus from Logan to the Cape if you decide not to fly. Are you planning any time in Boston? Do you like the beach?

Hi,

I%26#39;m just a wee bit confused about your post. You state ';flying up to Cape Cod';. Does this mean you are flying from Boston to Cape Cod?

There is bus service from Boston to Woods Hole (Falmouth) and Hyannis Center. Cost is around $30-40 dollars roundtrip. Bus companies include Plymouth-Brockton http://www.p-b.com/ and Peter Pan http://www.peterpanbus.com/

Falmouth would be a good choice without a car. Falmouth and Hyannis are the two biggest towns on the Cape and make good choices for people without a car. There%26#39;s more shops and restaurants in both towns which make it ideal for folks without a car. They also offer the most local bus services for getting around the Cape. http://www.capecodtransit.org/

Renting bikes is a good way to get around either town as well. More so Falmouth that has a nice bikepath that runs from the Harbor area over to Woods Hole. At either Falmouth Harbor or Woods Hole, there are ferry companies to take you over to Martha%26#39;s Vineyard.

In Hyannis, you can also get ferry service to Martha%26#39;s Vineyard, but it%26#39;s costlier and takes twice the time. Hyannis has ferry service to Nantucket while Falmouth does not.

So, without a car, I would choose a good central location in Falmouth or Hyannis close to shops, restaurants and the harbor area.

How about Tauck Tours (escorted) I saw a group of them recently in Chatham staying at the Wayside inn (seemed to be a lively bunch). I took a quick peek at their webiste and see they tour to Hyannis, Chatham, Newport, etc. on one of their trips.

I%26#39;m with the rest: I don%26#39;t get it. Are you touring, biking, flying where? I%26#39;m confused!

Anyway: If you%26#39;re in Boston you can take the ferry (no cars) to Provincetown. Ptown can be explored on foot but you%26#39;ll need a car to venture out further than that.

(How were you planning to get to Falmouth from Logan by the way?)

I think Tauck Tours might be a great option for you! Perhaps your travel agent could explore this as an option as well. The Wayside Inn is a standard stop on their Cape tours: nice lodging quality for a bus tour!
