Day 12 - 5th July

The gentle rains warns against a planned visit to Martha's Vineyard - a quite morning contemplating the vista across the bay.
An afternoon tour of Tiverton and Newport - across the multi-span suspension bridge built by the Rockerfellers to ease their access to their summer residences on Newport Sound - past the mansions that provided the summer refuges for the elite of New York society - Vanderbilts, the Astors, the Rockerfellers, the Bouviers - around the harbour - past the New York Yacht Club.
Home to genuine New England Seafood Chowder Peter Bowen style - Oh Bernadette and Graeme don't you wish you were here!
