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...

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 The information sign at the bridge is a little out of date as it state...

It wasn't until the kettle on the stove began to whistle that he finally woke. It was another misty morning so when we set out we headed up the hill above the low lying mist. About 2 miles away is the Trapp Family Lodge. When the Von Trapp family escaped ...

Day 58 Stowe We woke to a very misty morning. As we would not get to see much we took the opportunity to have a bit of sleep in. After a late breakfast we set out to drive through a mountain pass known as Smugglers Notch. At the bottom of the mountain is a large ski resort and gondola to take people up the mountain. In amongst the treed mountain you can see the open area which in a few months will become the ski runs. The scattered clouds were casting da...
