Heute Morgen sind wir wieder zu den Hopewell Rocks gefahren, um die Gesteinsformationen bei Flut anzuschauen. Das war wirklich recht eindrücklich!<br><br>Bei den Felsen haben wir einem Amerikanischen Ehepaar aus Kalifornien unsere Gezeitentabelle überlassen und sonst noch ein paar Tipps gegeben. Die haben sich so darüber gefreut, und machten gleich ein Foto von uns beiden ...

... visiting Acadia National Park. This destination is truly one of Mother Nature's greatest achievements, and the local government has made tremendous efforts to keep this park in its natural form. There is plenty for you to do in Bar Harbor, and both the shopping and the nightlife are rocking. From live music to the theater, the city offers plenty of great activities once the sun goes down.<br><br ...

... to verify the legend. Quite a story!<br> We visited an art gallery that is housed in a beautiful old home along the shoreline. We noted some work of Chrisine Koch, the artist that we had met at Woody Point in Newfoundland (seems like a long time ago now!). <br> Simple munchies in our room as a late supper and off to bed in our &#8216;attic suite&#8217;. Comfortable bed and a good sleep in the heart of downtown Fredericton, New Brunswick.

... I love the QV!<br>We spent the rest of the day driving around the park seeing rugged coast line, lakes, ponds, hiking trails, trees,granite and the Thunder Hole. The fall foliage is not yet all we had hoped for. The maples are turning a vibrant red but the yellow and oranges of aspens etc are just starting. Apparently, the fall colours will be at their peak in about 1 1/2 weeks. People who come to Maine for the fall foliage are ...

... enough a cinnamon roll is a tasty find. I don't know why but, fresh pineapple on the ship is always better than fresh pineapple at home. Bonita also enjoys the fruit in the morning. She will usually have eggs and bacon too.<br><br>While the main attraction to this port is Acadia National Park, the town is fun to explore too. We decided not to take the park bus tour but heard very good reports from people who did. We were a little early for fall colors this year ...

We had been watching the weather forecasts for the last few days prior to our impending departure...trying to make an educated guess as to whether to leave Sunday 22 and travel down into NH on the Monday, or leave Monday and travel again on Tuesday. It looked like Monday was the best bet (even though there were a few flurries forecast for the afternoon) as Tuesday was looking better for the second half of our journey. We have snow ...

... meeting her and her friend at after dinner so I held off on the alchy. Of course, the bar had completely run out of blueberry beer so alas, I left Maine without trying their local brew =P. On Friday we rolled out of Bar Harbor to Colby College where Rebecca's cousin goes to school and where we thus had an "in" to table on campus. We snuck out after a short shift to go swimming at the school's private lake (yes, private lake, you read it right ...

Well, I went out to the Lower Deck for some live traditional maritme music. (Banjo and fiddle) some Keith's and then joined an American and two Sask girls to the Keith's bar. $2.00 drinks. Yahoo. Well the morning was groggy but too sunny to sleep away. So I left Halifax - a great place to visit and deserved more time but I wanted to see Peggy's cove. The most photographed place in Canada for a reason. Beautiful. Postcard perfect. Also ...

... editions and collectible newspapers and magazines besides the used books. Have a field day examining the original manuscripts and antiques scattered through the book stacks. You can even have free coffee - look upstairs behind the religion section. How can you not enjoy a shop whose stated goal is "...to please and delight you..."? Sixty miles farther down Route 1 have lunch at Cappy's Chowder House in Camden. Their clam chowder tied for first place in my personal Maine clam ...

... edge of the incline which was an absolute dropoff. Now I knew if I didn't get out soon I wouldn't be able to and I had no idea how much the river would rise being only about 6 inchs below the bank. So the next time I knew I didn't worry about any of the gear getting out of place revved it up and didn't slow down at he depression and sliding back and forth close to each side I climbed up and was able to get the fornt wheels ...
