Watching this thread closely.
The wife and I will be there in mid-July on the motorcycle. Plan on spending some time riding that area, including Old Orchard, and then catching the ferry out of Portland over to Yarmouth, NS. Riding from there to Halifax for a night and then on back thru New Brunswick to Maine.
nice!
On your return will you be coming to Bar Harbor and/or
Ellsworth?
Avoid Lewiston, now a haven for Somalis creating havoc.
Peggy’s Cove south of Halifax is perhaps the most photogenic Canadian light house in existence. Grand Pre, NS has a great Acadian History Museum.
My wife’s family heritage is part Acadian and we did a four week history tour of the Maritimes when I retired a couple years ago.
Grab a pizza at Flatbreads on the harbor in the Old port. For clams, Kens Place in Scarborough is the call.
Perkins Cove in Ogunquit is essential for lobster (The Lobster Shack).
Street & Co. in Portland for seafood if you can get a reservation (often booked 2-3 months out), Fore Street if you can’t.
