I arrived in Maine on Monday and when I reached Augusta I headed east towards the coast to drive some scenic roads before going to my Airbnb near Bangor. These were taken near Camden, Maine.
I see Lobster Pounds everywhere along the coast. These are restaurants where you may buy and eat fresh seafood on-site or take it home with you.
This is part of downtown Camden:
And further north from Camden is Belfast, another nice little coastal town & harbor:
I drove further north and east, then dropped down on some small roads to the town of Castine where I found a small lighthouse. It was rather ordinary and I already know I have some better ones coming up soon so I’ll spare you the photo.
I finally headed north to where I would be staying for 4 nights south and west of Bangor in a nice log home in the woods near Hampden. When I arrived there I met a fellow Airbnb traveler from the UK who is wrapping up a 6-week driving tour of Massachusetts, Maine and Canada. Here is Tony’s motorcycle:
I’m not quite sure I’m ready to be that adventurous…
Yum. Makes me crave a lobster roll.
