Another non-fly day after two long legs from Greenland to Canada to Portland the day before. We decided to explore the beaches around Portland and the city itself. We started the day with the usual morning run around Bideeford Pool – a small village south of Portland where we rented a rather run down house close to the shore. The run along the waterfront, through the woods and across the beach was wonderful. After another healthy breakfast we took the car to Portland. Portland is a fishermen city and and eldorado for all seafood lovers. We finally got our Lobster Rolls here and visited the piers. While the beaches and nature in the area are nice, the city itself is not really a highlight. The omni-present weed-smell aside, there is a small old town, an artist district and the waterfront with the piers and some fish stores and restaurants.
As there isnt too much to see or do around here and as we still had a few day left until the airline would take us home, we spontaneously decided to to add another destination. After a look at the wather map and suitable airports within a 2hrs radius we decided for Burlington, Vermont. So we went to bed early to get some rest before another flight the next day.
