Day 4: Portland to Bar Harbor

A long coastal drive today, so prompt departure taking in the following:

1. East Bath - Toilet stop
2. Wiscasset - a nice little town with a scenic railway we were just too late see. A walk round the town was rewarded with the first views of bright red trees and New England clapboard houses on the same picture.
3. Rockland - the intended lunch stop but not a very interesting place, though the visitor centre had free nibbles available.
4. Camden - sat under the only "turning" tree in the area to eat our picnic lunch, which meant we were on everybody's holiday picture. This was followed by a leisurely stroll around the marina and town.
5. Bucksport - a nice viewpoint.
6. Thompson Island visitor centre.
7. Bar Harbor for eating and sightseeing of the town in daylight. Val wrestled with a lobster for tea - she did get eating instructions on the tablemat. Andrew ate chicken.
8. Check into the hotel a mile out of town.

There had been plans to visit numerous places on the way, but somehow we didn't find the time.

Spent the evening lounging around and "relaxed"
