Over the first few days we explored Portland Maine, which is about a 5 hour drive from where were live. We have been to Portland previously but we had never had the opportunity to have good look around.
Portland as it names suggest is on the water and is known for the famous Maine lobster so it seemed fitting for Bev and Murphy to have a photo taken in front of one of the many trucks located on the docks area of the city. Around this area of the city there are number of restaurants most with a water view who all offer on their menues great lobster meals.
There are several food venders located along along the street near the water and below is photo of 'Perry's Sidewalk Cafe - almost famous since 1994'. Perry was a happy fellow and if you want to check out more about him go to www.facebook.com/perrys.sidewalkcafe. 
Portland itself has a population of some 23,000 and is a very pretty town. Fortunately it is also very pet friendly so we were able to take Murphy on the city trolly tour which took us to many of the interesting areas of the city.
Towards the end of the tour we had the opportunity to look around many of the lighthouses which can be seen along the coastline. As you can see the sunny weather we had experienced in the town areas changed significantly by the time we travelled to the light house.
The next town we explored was Manchester, New Hampshire and we took the opportunity to travel to the Lake District. The 2 photos below show the beautity of this area. They were taken in the vicinity of Meredith, NH.

Our visit also coinicided with the world famous Laconia Motorcycle Week. Laconia is located in the centre of the Lakes District and if you want to know more about this event there are numerours websites giving information on this event. Suffice to say we saw more motorbikes during the few days we were in this area the we have all year and you can see an example of the hardware below. Clearly all the townships in the area were delighted to have this influx of the biking community and there were welcome banners everywhere.
We will post part 2 of the trip in the next few days.
Stay Safe.
Cheers Ross, Bev & Murphy
