NEW ENGLAND - AUGUST 2007

DAY 1 - NEWPORT (RI)

The New England tour starts from Rhode Island: only 70 miles from Boston Logan Airport, Newport hosts the mansions of the richest mans in U.S., Kennedy family included.
A pleasant stroll on Cliff Walk let us admire the most opulent historical mansions: among them, The Breakers, build by Cornelius Vanderbilt.
A nice tour at Newport Marina, then on the road on Ocean Avenue, plenty of wonderful villas as well.

DAY 2 - NEW YORK (NY)

The day in New York is more a technical stopover for a "programmed shopping"; so it is not a real touristic tour, even if we spent a few time relaxing in Central Park and shooting panorama pictures of Manhattan from Brooklyn.

DAY 3 - LITCHFIELD HILLS (CT)

Our tour starts again from Connecticut, where at first we visit the small Watertown, then, following the river Connecticut, we visit Kent Falls and West Cornwall, famous for his covered bridge.

DAY 4 - MASSACHUSETTS, VERMONT & NEW HAMPSHIRE

Day reserved for a transfer: we cross the Massachusetts, with a stop at South Deerfield for shopping and then we enter in Vermont, where the rain will follow us till the New Hampshire. We shot only a few pictures, mainly from the car.

DAY 5 - ACADIA NATIONAL PARK (ME)

Finally the Maine: Acadia National Park is one of the most visited site in New England and Bar Harbor is a cozy village, where we eat the best lobster of ever without spending a fortune.
The day starts with a boat tour for visiting the bay. On the afternoon we reach the top of Cadillac Mountain for a breathtaking landscape...

DAY 6 - CAMDEN & PORTLAND DOCKS (ME)

Destination: Boston, so we travel following the Maine coast. Stop in Camden, in the Penobscot Bay and then a visit of Portland, where a U.S. Navy ship is docked for touristic purposes. Veterans of World War II guide us into the ship.

 

DAY 7 - BOSTON (MA)

Boston is amazing, because his history (the U.S. history) is gracefully mixed with the contemporary style.
Our visit starts from Beacon Hill and the Massachusetts State House; then, crossing Boston Common, we follow the Freedom Trail into the Financial District, since Faneuil Hall. The waterfront at Columbus Park and a short walk into the North End are conclusive of an intense day and a trip full of pictures and souvenirs.
