Our B+B companions (in the other bedroom) were a couple from Switzerland. They owned a steel tube manufacturing company and had a couple of factories around the world and owned homes in several locations. Very interesting to talk to. Caro and I had booked this B+B knowing we had share the bathroom (not something we normally do) but we won't be doing this again because Caro was still not well and it wasn't very comforting knowing the bathroom might be occupied when we needed it. Also we didn't have showers because it was inconvenient.
After a short while driving boring side roads we got on the main highway and were soon in Liverpool. Our first stop was the Queen Anne County museum which explained a lot of the local privateers story,especially in the time of the 1812 war. Very cool. Also there were 3 handkerchiefs that were pulled from the sea by a sailor searching for survivors of the Titanic
From there we stumbled on to the Wile Carding Mill Museum which was an completely unexpected pleasure seeing how wool used to be made ready for use making products. It really was cool.
Next we were off to Bridgewater where we had booked a Days Inn for tonight. We were both exhausted and soon after our 2:30 check-in I was asleep. Ninety minutes later we drove over to Lunenburg. There is a reason this town is a UNESCO site. Oh boy, it is gorgeous.
We got to town about 5 and booked a 6:30 sunset cruise on a real sailboat, and while waiting for the tour we (actually me-as Caro is still unsure of how she would feel on the sailboat) ate fish and chips. The sail was awesome and I volunteered to help hoist the main sail. A sailor at last!!!!
It was dark as we drove to our hotel. Tomorrow we are back to Lunenburg.
