and then ZEN




Asticou Gardens - what a delight. The Zen garden of course is meant to look like the sea! Topical for yachties if course.
The rest is magnificently laid out out and beautifully maintained, we thought about supper at the hotel, but when we discovered about the price we decided the boat would be better food.
Actually NE hbr was a little oasis away from the hustle of Bar Harbour, they would have a jazz band playing every Thurs and free drinks! The locals were so friendly.
We went to Bar Harbour about 20 years ago and it was perfectly delightful. Sadly its a bit frantic now and the outlet mentality that surrounds it has spoiled much of its charm. MDI is still quite lovely, creaking a bit at the joints from all the people, however their bus service (free) was superb and so convenient.
