Lovely architecture, great coast line and beautiful Apalatian mountains. Some of the locals are a little brusk though. We sampled lobster, Daves first one ever. Odd weather with one day bright and hot the next rain all day. Acadia National Park sits on an island joined to the mainland US via a thin spit of land. Rugged coast line made of hard granite, waves smashing against the land especially following a day of rain. We visited the Thunder Hole at dusk, this isn't an Aussie toilet although that's what the Aussies call it, waves crash into a ridge under the rock face and make a thundering sound followed by a mass of splashing water straight upwards.
The Apalations are beautifully wooded mountains stretching for several hundred miles along the eastern side of the U.S. Around a hundred miles inland. The people are different from the big city and suburb bruskness, friendly and nothing is to much trouble with lots of advice and help. The only sad thing is this is our last post before returning home for a couple of weeks. It marks the end of this part of our adventure. But Europe is beckoning!
See you all over the weekend, we will need a little time to shake off jet lag.
Lots of love Dave & Sarah
