WHAT WE DID:
Our route was via ME9
& US1. What a glorious
drive! Coastal Maine at its best!!
We loved our stop at
the Rachel Carson Nature Reserve (a hero of our times!) .
We loved the lighthouses, the deluxe holiday houses, the small ports,
the charm of the towns… all movie set gorgeous! But we were very disappointed with our lunch stop at Mabel’s
Lobster Claw (overpriced, under-endowed lobster roll … and serving a fork for
eating the melted icecream pie??? But DH was happy with his Lobster Mac &
Cheese).
We stayed at the Inn
At St John. As fans of John Connolly
crime fiction, we came by this from his website … and I checked it our on TA as
well. It was a great choice. Staff were very helpful ensuring we had an
accessible room, the accommodation stylish and cosy and the complimentary
continental breakfast was the best!
We ate that night at The Great Lost Bear, another suggestion from John
Connolly as his fictitious private eye “works” there. Thanks, Mr Connolly … two excellent recommendations!
WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE
Not much! Beautiful scenery and plenty of time to
sight see.
Would choose somewhere
else for lunch. This was one of
the shortcomings of the timing of our trip – so many places were “Closed For
The Season” (and in fact Mabel’s was closing up a few days later) so we didn’t
always have a wide selection to choose from.
