Any trip to Maine needs to include an incredible seaside meal of lobster. A friend in Florida gave us directions to Cook’s Lobster House on a spit of land on the north end of Bailey Island south of Brunswick overlooking Casco Bay. We headed there today for a midday feast overlooking the docks where the lobster are unloaded. We both ordered the Hot Lobster Roll. Chunks of lobster meat nestled with some lettuce inside a grilled bun served with drawn butter and with chips and slaw on the side. Total decadence! An absolute delight for the taste buds. But then we had to top it off with Jan’s award winning Blueberry Pie. The filling was amazing. Maine blueberries have such an intense blueberry flavor and then to be encased in flaky pastry and topped with premium vanilla ice cream. Wow! And fabulous service and a view of the world famous Cribstone Bridge!
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
