Had a quiet and productive morning getting new reservations taken care of for the month following our meeting up with Terry and Gede (at the end of the month)…
It was a cool morning (like most of them are now), but the sun was out, and we took the opportunity to take a long walk around out campground….
It’s huge! Don’t know how many it’ll accommodate, but it’s gotta be hundreds… Sure glad we’re here in the off-season…
After we had lunch at home (for a change), we took a drive down to get a closer look at the Bass Harbor Lighthouse…
What a fantastic drive!
Small (and not-so-small) villages popped up picture perfect wherever you looked…
Every vista was more spectacular than the last…
It’s almost like driving through one of those travel brochures you pick up… Homes and scenery alike ready for the camera…
What a treat!

Took us all afternoon to wind our way around the areas of Southwest Harbor, and get back to Bar Harbor, where we stopped at one of the hundreds of eateries for another bowl of clam chowder…
Out in the bay lay the “Norwegian Dawn” which we sailed on some time back (can’t remember which cruise that was)… Nice seeing the old gal though… She was gone by the time we had finished dinner, so we didn’t get a second look… Bummer…
Cruising definitely has some plusses, but having your own vehicle in places like this, and having more than the allotted 5, 6, or 8 hours to see-do everything, beats cruising, I think…
That’s it for tonight…
We’re thinking about “doing” the Northeast Harbor area tomorrow, but we’re flexible, so who knows what we’ll end up doing… Until then, keep a watch out for us…
GOOD LUCK, ANNE!

Hi. Great pics. May have some reminders of Norway. In fact, this was Leiv Erikson's land "Vinland" were the Vikings lived until they were wiped out by the "Skrellings", the Viking name of the indians (around 1300-1400). Even the crown of England had to apply to the Danish-Norwegian king before taking over these areas.
ReplyDeleteThere you go, Per Arne..... I keep saying we VIKINGS did our share to conquer the world, but somehow we screwed up. and all we can do now is emmigrate and multiply!
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping an eye on us!
