Our USA-trip (2)

This is the second part of our travel journal. As you may know, we have a small motorhome in the USA and like to travel there during two months each summer. I wrote about the state of New York in this post.

Since our main goal was the state of Maine, we did not spend much time in Vermont and New Hampshire. O.k., we could see there was natural beauty in abundance, but the Atlantic Ocean lured us to go East, to admire the coast in all its glory, so after Vermont we drove the Kangamangus Highway (great) and entered Maine via Bethel, in the north western part of the state. Our first campground stop was in Augusta, where one of our neighbours used (at least for us) a most unusual kind of transport!

we changed our initial plans to visit Arcadia Nat'l Park and visited the city of Camden instead. From Mt. Battie there was a glorious overview of the Penobscot Bay and all its islands; we spotted this merry guy in one of the shop windows of this lovely fisherman's place, he seemed to advice us to not take life too serious...

and in the harbour there was more good advice to take at heart!

As soon as we arrived in coastal Maine it was all (and I say ALL) about lobster; these lobstertraps we saw in front of a restaurant in the harbour


busy, characteristic, nautical, we loved the Camden harbour

More to come in my next post, thanks for visiting!
