Highlight of the day was in Essex, New York where we crossed the lake into Vermont. What a cool little town with great stone buildings from the 1830's dominating the local architecture.  Ferry ride was nice as well...

Arrived at our hotel around 8:15 PM and sought out a place for dinner. Only to find that most places close at 8:00 por 9:00 PM.

Our only option was the bowling alley down the street.  I can't describe how bad that place was. Hopefully something better today will pop up as we cross into Maine.

More later.....

Sunday we crossed New York and rode through the Adirondacks. What a let down. The "mountains" are like the "Peaks" in the Peak District - so they're not mountains at but rolling hills. Lots of traffic and kinda crappy little towns we passed through. I won't be back.

Did see a cool beach on Lake Ontario though...

Yes! Sunny skies and a high of about 75F / 24C so it was nearly perfect. Expecting it to be a bit hotter today.

A Cog Railway at Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Climbs the hill for a fee - we didn't do the ride though ...

As has become de rigueur, we hot the hotel bar for dinner as we were too tired to go anywhere via Uber.  It was an American version of an Irish Pub. Crap food but the beers were good - so it was a good imitation of an Irish Pub...........

I wondered how long the good weather was going to last!
