    Beach Holidays and Time Travel

    A visit to the village of the first settlers was initially planned, but we've found an even more interesting alternative to explore the production of the seventeenth century. Unusual and interesting place, perfect to have a great time on the beach and take some pictures with the house from a childhood movie.

    Coffee Time Bake Shop

    Bakery
    Open Details
    As I said, we like exploring the local pastry shops and coffee houses much more than having breakfast at the hotel.
    Today our choice is a provincial-charming bakery with incredibly delicious home-made donuts, cakes and pastries. I really like the carrot cake, you can also order some takeout brownies to have a snack during the day.

    Hocus Pocus Shoot Location: Allison's House

    Hocus Pocus Shoot Location: Allison's House

    Landmark
    Open Details
    One more place for lovers of childhood retro films. And which one from the Disney movie 'Hocus Pocus' witches is your favorite?
    Honestly, we got there not only to take cute pictures with a cinema witch house, but also to visit the village of the first settlers, located across the road in the park. But, unfortunately, some filming took place on our visit to the village, and it was closed for visitors. Perhaps when you decide to visit Salem, the shooting will be over, and you could enjoy the atmosphere of the seventeenth century. By the way, you can find all the necessary information about attendance on the village official web-site.
    Note, that the Hocus Pocus House is closed on the weekend.

    The Rebecca Nurse Homestead

    The Rebecca Nurse Homestead

    Landmark
    Open Details
    After we failed to visit the village of the first settlers, the locals advised us to go to The Rebecca Nurse Homestead.
    When the characters of horror movies are advised to visit an old house outside the city, it makes you wary. But that doesn't. A trip to this museum of living history is fascinating and informative. Yesterday was one of those fun days, and today allows learning more about the true story of Salem, including being in the house where witches trials were held in the seventeenth century.
    Note, that the museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

    A nice place for fast food lovers. Burger and sandwich fillings have not been lacking there, and the fillings are very different, from smoked beef to seafood. And if you are a fan of proper nutrition, enjoy a large selection of soups and salads.
