...when we got up this morning it was raining - and it has rained all day... but up to now the weather has been great!!! Anyway we set off through Portland, and found the 'Whole Food' store... WOW!!! For anyone who has been to the USA - you will know what we are talking about... it was rather overwhelming... but we found some bits and pieces... I don't know about 'not looking like a tourist'... how can you not... any way, we found a very helpful assistant, and between us went back to her about seven times asking various questions... we said, "that's what happens when you're nice to the English tourists, we will keep coming back to find you!!!"
We made our way up the coast and stopped at the Rockland Cafe... where we sampled THE most amazing seafood chowder... after this well deserved break we carried on up the coast towards Bar Harbour... stopping several times along the way to take photos... YES!!! There are already loads of photos... (Lins - we know you are following the blog... and YES - you will have to look at all the photos when we get home - simply following the blog does not exclude you from that luxury!!!) Anyway - we thought we would post a picture of the BIG car... yes, it is going to use more petrol, but it is a really nice car, and really comfortable... and big enough to sleep in should we run out of cash towards the end of our three months!!!
We're getting dab hands at just stopping at hotels, walking in and asking if they have a room... so we are staying at the Best Western... which is really nice, as we signed up for their reward scheme before leaving the UK - they give you 10% off your stay... so we're saving money already!!!
Suzi - you need to look for BAR HARBOUR on the map for your next sticker!!!
Hi Guys,

Hi girls! Sounds like you're catching your stride on the foreign continent.
ReplyDeleteWas wondering whether you encountered any wicky witches in Salem?
(^^,)
Can't wait for the photo & storytelling sessions myself!!! Thinking some "nice wine" will certainly turn it into an
occassion.....
The Jeep's definitely growing on you & sounds like a good deal which will add value.
(Will be looking for Bar Harbour on the map myself)
