Newport, Rhode Island is rich in history, with amazing historical homes, shops and mansions from the Gilded Age. It is also a beautiful seaport, with a plethora of boats docked along the piers. It has a charming downtown shopping district and numerous pubs, bars and cafes lining the shore. My day trip included a bus excursion to Elms House Mansion, Fort Adams State Park, President Eisenhower's summer home, and a drive along the coast. It also included a Newport trolley ride, which was a 90-minute loop around the city and shoreline. The trolley is a short walk from Bowen's Wharf, where the cruise ship's shuttle boats docked. Walking around the town is easy since the downtown shopping district is condensed and simple to traverse. There are also a couple cute mini-parks to rest in shade: Eisenhower Park and Queen Anne Square. It was a lovely day trip and I was able to see most of the city in my short day ashore. @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Videos from this journey: Edinburgh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLZiSpBRojs St Andrew's Day Trip Excursion: https://youtu.be/U9Ho9_eeW3c Highlands Tour to Loch Ness and Glencoe: https://youtu.be/dOWrl52ex3o Orkney Islands: https://youtu.be/Pf7omHQ7wzY Faroe Islands: https://youtu.be/-OUdDlJtjAI Akureyri, Iceland: https://youtu.be/LKHMYTqaD8k Isafjordur, Iceland: https://youtu.be/j8SprJ7LaLY Reykjavik, Iceland: https://youtu.be/QoBZa6wprW8 Nuuk, Greenland: https://youtu.be/pNANqdrg9ns Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada: https://youtu.be/mTyMpfeFkSs St John/Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada: https://youtu.be/0UZym3bzBpE Boston Duck Boat Tour: https://youtu.be/Sv09LJADv-4 Newport, Rhode Island: https://youtu.be/WuMYw5YAjhw Bermuda: https://youtu.be/nLlEE5JqG34
