Today is gonna be a long long day. We started our day at Boston Common with the intention to walk the freedom trail. Took a photo at the garden that day and found out that we are now down to only 2 cameras. (mine died on me yesterday at Fenway Park and now Ranjan's is dying) Boston murdered our camera! We spotted a tourist office and decided to walk in to ask about tours available.

This is how the place supposed to look like
After a long discussion, we decided to take the trolley and not to walk the freedom trail as we wanna see more of the city. (Lazy to walk also la. Haha) It turned out to be a very wise decision as the ride on the trolley around boston was marvellous! We got to see so many parts of the city. Furthermore, our driver is really entertaining. We drove across the bridge to the USS constitution, Copley Square, MIT, Fenway Park, Teather District, Wharf Area, parts of the freedom trail, etc.
It cost 30 dollars, but its good.
See how excited we are?
The walk around Quincy Market was a good one althought we did no really get to shop or sit down to chill. The place is full of activities. Cafe by the cobblestone walk, lots of pushcarts selling souveniors and very good buskers too. The driver made a joke about people coming to Bekerly Music College and then go busking after the graduate. I wonder whether it is true as I listen to those great beat from the drummer. Haha.
After getting down the trolley, we quickly strategise on where we wanna go. We got on the trolley once again and it was the same driver. Haha. The guy actually remember us and ask us aren't we bored going on it so many times. Little did he know that we are actually using his trolley for recree purpose. Haha. 
USS Constitution, oldest battleship
Where is the treasure?
We quickly boarded the last trolley to Copley Square where the archi is just magnificent. Feel so lucky that we took the trolley as we never plan to visit this place until when saw it on the trolley ride. Hehe. Beacon Hill is also a great place to chill. Those nice brownstone houses which houses cafe and stores gave me a very relaxing feeling.
It was a difficult shot. Thanks camera man!

We took the T to Harvard straight after to see what the ivy league school is all about. To our horror, it started raining the moment we exited the T. We would have went back the hostel to chill had it rain earlier. Argh. We sat down at a deli for dinner while hoping for the rain to stop.
At the Harvard T station
The rain stopped when we finished filling up our tummy. Yeah! So we took the opportunity to explore around the campus. There is not many students around at that time. What a waste! So we were kinda walking around aimlessly around the empty campus. Haha. Nothing really impresses me, so I would say skip this place if you don't have enough time when visiting Boston.

Trust me this place looked better in pic
One of those abundant red building
Went back to the hostel after that to drag our luggages to the bus station . It is definitely the best greyhound station in USA. Really clean, not smelly and lots of food outlets. If only all greyhound stations can be like this. No wonder people like to stay in Boston. Everything is just beautiful and clean. Well, at least those palces that I have been. Alright now its time for the long bus ride to Washington.
It cost 30 dollars, but its good.
See how excited we are?
