Bar Harbor

Efter 3 dage med vandreture (de første dog ikke så avancerede som den sidste dags tur op på Cadillac mountain!) havde jeg virkelig brug for at komme ned i byen og bare gå rundt helt efter mit eget hovede. Jeg ville gerne gå ud til den lille ø, Bar Island, hvor jeg troede der var en bro ud. Det var der så ikke! Man kan gå derud på sand når det er lavvande, og det var netop hvad der var da jeg kom. Så der startede jeg. Det så sådan her ud - man kan ikke rigtig forestille sig at der IKKE er passage, vel?

After 3 days of hiking (though the first days were not that difficult as the last day on Mt. Cadillac!) I really needed to go into town and just walk around as I felt like. I would like to walk out to the little island, Bar Island, and I thought there would be a bridge going out there. There wasn't! You could walk out there on a passage of sand at low tide, which was exactly the case when I arrived. So that was my first activity. It looked like this - it's hard to imagine this NOT being a passage, right?

Ovre på den lille ø blev jeg mødt af dette skilt som det første. Hvis jeg ikke kom tilbage i tide, ville jeg være fanget derovre i 9 timer!

Heldigvis var der tid til at gå op og nyde udsigten og derefter gå tilbage igen uden problemer.

At the tiny island, I was met by this sign as the first thing. In case I didn't go back in time, I would get caught at the island for 9 hours!

Fortunately, there was time to walk to the top of the island to see the view and then go back without problems. 

Det næste jeg gjorde (efter at have kigget i nogle turistbutikker som der var MANGE af!), var at gå ind i denne fine og ret store boghandel. Det var hyggeligt at kigge på mange bøger og ting derinde og bare bruge tid! 

Bagefter spiste jeg en dejlig is på vej videre. 

The next thing I did (after looking around in some of the PLENTY tourist shops!), was visiting this really nice and quite big book shop. It was so nice looking at all the books and stuff in there, just taking my time!

Afterwards, I had a lovely ice cream while continuing. 

Mit næste stop havde jeg også fundet på et kort, nemlig det fineste bibliotek! Jeg hyggede mig med at lade min telefon op og kigge i en masse flotte strikkebøger som jeg ikke havde set før. Nogle af dem ville jeg faktisk gerne have haft med hjem, men sådan fungerer det jo ikke rigtig.....

Prøv lige at se hvor fint der var!

My next stop was also something I found on a map - it was such a pretty library! I had the best time charging my phone while looking through a lot of beautiful knitting books that I'd never seen before. Some of them would have fit well in my private library, but of course they had to stay......

Just look at how pretty it was!

Bagefter gik jeg over gaden og kiggede i den smukke episkopale kirke med fine glasmalerier. 

Afterwards, I crossed the street and took a look in the beautiful Episcopal church with beatiful glass paintings. 

Mit sidste planlagte stop i byen var i denne her butik hvor jeg troede der var garn. Det var der teknisk set også, men bestemt ikke noget jeg ville bruge penge på. Til gengæld var der det smukkeste STOF! Alt det blå stof ovenpå bordet var udelukkede med blåbærmønster. Jeg tror der var ihvertfald 10 forskellige print! Helt vildt!

Så jeg købte noget derinde, selv om det ikke var garn.......

The last, planned stop in the city was this shop where I thought there would be yarn. Technically, they had yarn, but nothing that I would ever spend money buying. But then they had the most awesome FABRIC! All the blue fabrics on top of the table were with blueberry-pattern. I do think they had around 10 different prints! So crazy!

So I bought something in there, although it wasn't yarn.......

Min frokost var MEGET sund! En virkelig velsmagende vegansk salat. 

Derefter var min tid i byen ved at være slut, men jeg havde set det jeg ville og var klar til at komme tilbage. 

My lunch was SO healthy! A really yummy, vegan sallad. 

After that, my time around the town was running out, but I'd seen all I wanted and was ready to go back. 

Før jeg mødte bilen nåede jeg dog lige tilbage til vandet og passagen over til øen. Man skulle ikke tro det var det samme sted, vel?

Det var en meget dejlig dag der i Bar Harbor - en by som jeg ikke anede eksisterede for nogle uger siden!

Before I met up with the car, I had time to go back to the water and the passage to the island. You wouldn't believe this was the same place, right?

It was such a lovely day in Bar Harbor - a town I had no idea existed just a few weeks back!
