Day 64 North Conway to Portsmouth After breakfasting and sending our final blog, making us up to date at that point, we headed off for the state of Maine. Once again driving on the lesser roads, we enjoyed more lovely scenery and slower pace. The strong scent of the sea signalled our arrival in Kennebunkport. Lots of lovely homes that would be in the million plus dollar category. The town is most noted for the Bush Family Compound on Walker Point (yes, w...

Day 63 North Conway Another glorious start to the day with plenty of sun and no clouds = 4°C start. The good thing today was there was minimal wind. We managed to get showered, dressed, breakfasted and out the door by 8:30am. We dropped into the ranger's office for a day pass but they were so exhausted by Columbus Day that they gave themselves the day off. So we set forth regardless. Half an hour up the White mountains Trail with minimal traffic we arriv...

Day 62 North Conway Completely different day today. Sunshine everywhere! However, it was 4°C at 8am. So rugging up was the order of the day. Well at least until we had gone for a walk and got the blood flowing. First order of the day was a coffee for Vince (actually 2! just to clear the head) and tea for Margaret. We were on the road by 9am (or thereabouts; we were on holidays for goodness sake!) First stop was to pay US$3 for a day permit at the r...

Day 61 Littleton to North Conway We woke to an overcast and showery day. Setting off down the interstate to Lincoln, we were at the start of the Kancamangus Highway going through to Conway. This is a one of the roads we had read lots of reviews stating "a must do drive". It is very pretty and has lots of places to stop and go for a walk on marked trails. As you would expect with the "Falls colour meter" at full throttle, there were tourists everywhere. It wa...

Day 60 Stowe to Littleton After packing up and saying good bye to our hosts we headed for Littleton. This took us back via Bliss Hill Road and out the other side of Morrisville. The tree lined and canopied roads out of Morrisville were beautiful. It was a slow drive as we were constantly stopping to take photos (blame Vince). We also came across the only remaining covered railway bridge. The information sign at the bridge is a little out of date as it state...
