Day six, arcadia national park and mount desert island, maine

This is a stunning part of the world, shame the locals can only really do any thing here for the four months of summer as in the winter it’s four feet deep in snow. Cruisie day today starting off with a ride to the summit of Mount Cadillac which gives awesome views over the entire island and Arcadia. A quick visit to the visitor center before a loop of the park and a coffee out at the village of Northeast Harbour, a nicely held secret of this area. What a gorgeous village. The real estate on South Shore road and Sergeant drive would easily rival that of Ocean Drive and Bellvue road at Newport,Rhode Island, but in a much more serene and tree’d setting, simply stunning. Had coffee there and got the tips to ride these streets and look at the real estate from a local again…….love chatting to the locals. We popped back to the Motel for lunch then went for a circuit down to Southwest Harbour, Bass Harbour and Seal cove and were back at the Motel by 3.00. Little bit of re-hydrating then down to the Harbour where there were some Maine lobsters consumed, as you do when in Maine. All in all a relaxing day with some beautiful scenery all at a leisurely pace given the low speed limits in the park and on the local roads.
