About 30 miles north of Boston is the town of Lowell where famed Beat Generation 'On The Road' writer was born, lived and is buried. Travel from Boston's North Station by rail in around 30 minutes. Call in at the Lowell tourist information centre for your maps and information leaflets. Kerouac is buried in Edson cemetary - exact location is provided by the tourist centre. Also call by Jack Kerouac Park on Bridge Street, where tall standing stones, arranged in a Catholic and Buddhist design, are incscribed quotes from Kerouac's many novels.

My wife and I took a photo tour of Beacon Hill and the Back Bay with PhotoWalks, a tour specialising in providing the history of the area and also tips and ideas on how to photograph unusual and iconic images of Boston. The tour was superb and possibly the best tour we have ever taken on all our globetrotting holidays. Saba Alhadi, the tour guide, was a superb tourguide, her passion for Boston and photography was immediately infectious and fired our love of this wonderful city and photography as an artform. I can highly recommend this tour for inclusion in your guidebooks, it is little known and I we only came across the tour by accident on surfing the internet for information about Boston. I assure you that all those who undertake a tour of Boston, there are 5 tours on offer, will have a wondefully satisfying, informative, relaxing and stimulating few hours with Saba. Her website is www.photowalks.com
Many thanks Paul Cuddeford

An absolutely unmissable excursion. There are various companies offering whalewatching cruises so look around for the best deals. We managed to pick up a "two for one" ticket coupon in a nearby Burger King so make enquiries. The trip was supposed to last for around 2 hours but they make a promise that if you don't see any whales, they refund your money ... so basically they just keep on cruising for as long as it takes to find some ! We had to go all the way down to Cape Cod so it lasted for about 5 hours (same price !!) and we were blown away by the upclose viewing of whales breaching, making bubble nets, splashing - it was absolutely fantastic. Just one word of advice though - don't forget the suncream. It was chilly on deck but everyone ended up with sunburn !!
