cape cod for Italians...
 
Which is the best way to visit Cape Cod from Boston? Should we rent a car or it is possible to visit the area by bus? We need suggestions on: <BR>nice-but-not-so-expensive hotels (you know, the lira is quite weak in this period....) <BR>good restaurants (we adore fish) <BR>boat trips: do you really se the whales? Is it worth doing? <BR>Any spot we should definitively not miss? <BR>Thanks a lot <BR>Anna and Francesco <BR> <BR>

You do not say how long you will be on cape cod or what time of year. Either way, a car is most preferable as there is not really any public transportation on Cape Cod. As for FISH... it would be hard to find a restaurant that does not serve fresh fish. Whale watching is fun and takes about half a day and you usually do see whales as the boats use spotter planes to locate the whales. A do not miss location depends entirely on your taste and the time of year. However, considering your Italian connection I would guess that MARCONI station in Wellfleet would be of interest. Enjoy ! <BR> <BR>

Anna, <BR> <BR>I've been going to the cape since I was a kid. Sept is a good time to visit. I've gone on 3 whale trips and have seen whales each time. The trips I've taken are from Prov. Town. If you stay in Welfleet it is not far to drive. One thing I love about the cape is the relaxed atmosphere!!!
