Days 7 & 8. Early start yesterday for the long drive to Lincoln in New Hampshire, couple of stops on route until we hit the Kancamagus highway, supposedly one of the most scenic roads in New Hamshire, which we have to agree with, especially with the fall colours.

Day 4. Today we leave Boston for Portland in Main. Weather a bit brighter as we go to pick up our car but still that chilly wind.

First stop at Salem, very busy being a Sunday, also being in the USA October is halloween month, lots going on already. A quick pit stop in Newbury port then we moved on to kenbunkport, beautiful place, very scenic. Had a lovely meal at Alissons then we finished our journey to Portland.... read more

Day 2 in Boston, after breakfast went on the Boston Duck tour covers both land & water. Then got tickets for the on/off trolley bus as weather wet & quite chilly. Got off at the Massachusetts state House & went in to get out of the rain for a while, very interesting. Still raining when we came out but not too hard so walked for a while, taking in Cheers & the Trinity church (the oldest church in Boston). Then after dinner went up to the skywalk in the Prudential Centre to have a look at the Boston skyline at night.... read more
