Ogunquit – Maine

We awoke up with a raining day again, but didn’t stop us to carry on our trip. Before arrive to our final destination we rode on the Mt. Washington Auto Road .

The road is amazing and if you had a clear day the view has to be breathtaking. You drive up listening a CD guide, which explains to you the history of the Auto Road. The explanation is very clear and you can imagine the first travelers on their horse cars. The ascension was all right we hope all the time a weather change but it never happened. When we reached the peak the weather was worst, it looked as the end of the world was approaching, strong winds, heavy rain and a lot of clouds. We have to go again.

Our hotel in Ogunquit was The Terrace by the Sea, the location is great only a few steps from the water and the views are fantastic. We had a partial ocean view room but we could see the ocean through our window. The day wasn’t fantastic but be at the hotel all time wasn’t a good idea. We took our car and drove near the sea till reach Perkins Cove. We parked our car there and visited the original and little stores. After our window shopping we started the Marginal Way, a scenic walk. It’s a one mile path along the seashore.




Our first night in Ogunquit we had dinner at Gipsy Sweethearts  at Ogunquit, after the fabulous places where we had dinner the last days, this one was only a correct restaurant in a beautiful place, a kitchen without a lot of pretensions in a warm ambiance.

Our last day was absolutely great, the sun shining, good temperature and no signal from the awful previous weather. Our relaxing beach day was the icing on the cake.






A little bit sad because the end of our holidays was in front of us and with a good taste  in our mouths beacuse our holidays had been fantasticwe were to find the next place for our dinner. It was The Blue Water Inn,. We had dinner on the terrace, the service was great, the seafood fresh and good cooked even the music was perfect, sixties music my favourite.
