WHAT WE DID
Our route was to
Freeport via I-295, then US-1 to Bar Harbor. Just plain beautiful.
I thought Day 1 coast was great, and things just kept getting better!! Everything
you could expect … but more than you expected!
Of course, we stopped
at L. L. Bean! (My Maine ship’s bell
windchime is sounding as I type this!) And then it was a slow scenic coastal
& small town drive. We stopped
at Damariscotta for an outstanding coffee in an excellent bookshop (Maine Coast
Bookshop & Café). We had perfect weather and clear views for our detour on
the Mt Battie Auto Road. Lunch was
possibly my favourite of the trip!
Ahhhhh! Young’s Lobster Pound at Belfast!!! (I shall do a TA review
later … but right now I will just sit and think about that lobster for a while
. . . . . . mmmmmm, yum)
And I should mention DH’s scallops were also amazing!
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
Hard to say … Maybe an
extra night on the coast getting from Portland to Bar Harbor as we loved all
those coastal town. And maybe it
would work taking this extra night coming south from Bar Harbor before heading
inland to the White Mountains. One
thing we did miss was going up to the Observatory on the Penobscot Narrows
Bridge as we were getting tired of the drive, so an extra night and extra
travelling time would allow this to be fitted in.
