Day 4 Bougie B'fasts & Breweries

Went to the coolest breakfast joint in town - Bread and Friends. Gilly enjoyed an Orange Creamiscle and we shared the soft scrambled eggs, English muffins and delicious French toast with maple syrup.
Visited an old Victorian mansion built with brownstone. Unfortunately we could not get a picture of the putside as it was coverd in scaffolding, under going restorative works. The house was owned by The Morse family as a summer residence. Mr Morse was a wealthy hotelier who also traded slaves.
After, we walked through town, looking around beautiful homeware stores that smell delicious! Came across a bronze statue of the film director John Ford, who was from Maine until making it big in Hollywood - known for his Westerns. Tried the local beer at Austin Breweries.
In complete contrast to Rockport, Portland is very much a big city harbour. There were two huge cruise ships in dock.
Rounded off the day with a sunset cruise on a Schooner called Timberwind. Jenni was glad of her new beaver beanie when out at sea!
Lots of fresh air today so opted for Portland Pie (pizza) take out and a film - (Pirates of course) back at the hotel.Weiterlesen
