Plymouth is nice. There are lots of restaurants and shops, plus museums. There is a lot of walking you can do as well. The rock is disappointing.

“Rock” is generous and “disappointing” is an understatement

ok but it is fun seeing the reactions of a bus load of tourists realize how disappointing it truly is en masse.

I mean, it is a rock. In Plymouth. The most famous one in the whole damn town.

I've lived in the area all my life and can't recall it ever being hyped up as something amazing to see (except maybe like a 2nd grade field trip or something).

If you're expecting a rock in a basement jail cell, that's what you get. If you're expecting a song and dance down Main St, you're gonna have a bad time.

If you're expecting to see a rock the Pilgrims "landed" upon... you'll be disappointed because it never happened.

Plymouth Rock was "discovered" 120 years after the Pilgrims arrived.
