A quick update from Bangor Maine

10 September 2006
Here are our US photos so far!

Ok, there should be a few more updates now as we bought a laptop. This is great as every hotel/hostel has Wi-Fi, sweet!!

We are currently in Bangor, Maine the home of Stephen King. :-) Whose house we will be visiting today, hopefully he will invite us in for coffee. Ok...back track....

From Boston we went to Cape Code by bus, whilst on the bus we met another Aussie girl who was visiting family on the Cape for the summer and she dragged us off the bus so her grandmother could give us a lift to the Hostel. This turned out to be awesome as we had no idea where the hostel was...which turned out to be bloody miles from anywhere! Thanks (I think your name was Jess!) On the cape we grabbed a couple of bikes and went cycling for ever, had lobster at Land Ho, played mini golf and visited Province Town for a half hour. The Hostel was fantastic, set in the bush in little cabins, we were given a cabin to ourselves, the staff, Caroline and Judith were great! Drop us an email guys!

Back in Boston, we picked up a Chevy Malibu which was a free upgrade from some crappy economy car and headed off to Maine. Driving has been pretty easy and fun with a nice powerful car, I', sure the speed limit is 80 mph not 65..We have only missed a few turn offs which generally ended up in some cool little town anyway. We Stayed in a Budget Inn Motel at Portland then set off to Freeport (this town is a town made from outlet shops, talk about heaven!) We saw the ex presidents beach house, whoop di do!

My next favourite Australian comment, after the water uphill one would have to be one from a ... "Gas station attendant" Where are you from... Australia...Yeah but which country? GOLD I tell ya. When they realised what Australia was they then told me to have fun with all my Kangaroos...hehehehe Maine is the home of all the lighthouses...yep, all of them, so here's one we visited.
