Had a great morning in Wiscasset, a picturesque town in Lincoln County, Maine. Lovely shops to do some retail therapy in…”In the clover” and “Debra Elizabeth’s” and just stroll around looking at the architecture. Visited the Butterstamp Workshop, folk art shop which produces cinnamon scented decorative Xmas baubles and candles.

Sarah’s Cafe, Wiscasset – firstly the wheat roll is yummy and made each day on the premises. The lobster is fresh and tastes just-cooked and picked, with just a little coleslaw mixed through. Put simply, it’s lobster roll perfection (from the 3 I’ve tasted). Goes really well with Sarah-nade, pomegranate in home made lemonade. Delicious lunch!

On the recommendation of visitor information staff, took myself to the lovely region of Damariscotta and route 130 to Pemaquid Point for another lighthouse view, with a craggy rocks vista. It was a perfect day for such a drive, past lovely little art galleries that I wish I had time to pop into.

Camden draws quite a tourist crowd and I was glad I got into town later in the afternoon, to avoid the worst. The harbour has really pretty views and the park just above it is lovely to relax in. Cappy’s restaurant offered delicious clam chowder, my dinner.

Lastly to Rockport overnight….a tiny village but extraordinarily picturesque, also with nice harbour views. In lots of ways, preferred it to Camden.
