Landmark Journey 2015: May 18 Cape Cod

We headed out on Highway #6 on our way to the tip of cape Cod to a town called Provincetown; a beautiful drive up the eastern seaboard. We first stopped at the main beach area; very nice sandy beach but cold water! Headed into Provincetown and strolled the streets and the marina area. We decided to stop at a coffee place and had an Americano Expresso and banana muffin; yummy! We then took side roads first down the West side of the tip and then crossed over and drove the east side; we passed the most eastern point of the contiguous United States at Eastham; got the East part, not sure about the Ham! maybe it was a pig settlement in the early 1600's and they needed to settle (get it?) on a name.
From there we drove south to Hyannis where we scouted out the ferries to Nantucket which we are planning for Wednesday; tomorrows forecast is not good so I made an appointment at a local Dodge dealership to get the oil changed on my truck as I've just passed 17,000 kilometres and I wont have much opportunity to do this again before 20K which in my warranty book says I need to do.
In Hyannis we had dinner at a recommended lobster restaurant which was highly recommended. Maine lobster at its finest, with plastic bibs and the works! I had stuffed lobster, Caroline had a regular boiled. I have to admit, Maine lobster is the best, slightly sweeter than Caribbean.
Drove through rush hour in Hyannis back "home"; all roads are only 2 lane so things get backed up real bad here. Now this is off season and we've noticed along the whole East Coast that in the summer months all these places must be a real zoo!! Driving on the coke in July and August is a cakewalk compared to the East Coast.
