Bar Harbor where the whales hang out


We have arrived at Bar Harbor and are staying at the swish Bar Harbor Resort right down on the waterfront.

An overcast and drizzly start in Auburn this morning did not look good and we began to think that we should give up on Maine and head south for a few days of sunshine before we go home. However we decided to persevere and it has been a good decision because we arrived in Bar Harbor in bright sunshine.

We had lunch on the way at Dysart's Truck stop - yet another interesting eating place we have found on this holiday. This truck stop has been around since the 1950's and is still a very traditional restaurant. It was packed with truckers putting away large portions of carbs. We settled for a couple of salads and a BLT but they were still big plates.

Ice Cream in Bar harbor completed another balanced meal!

Tomorrow we have booked places on a whale watch cruise. Watch this space to find out if the whales have cooperated.
