We checked out of the hotel early and took the train to the airport to pick up a car. Naïvely we imagined that we would get breakfast there, but only found a doughnut concession in the process of opening. We waited to buy a coffee and doughnut before taking the bus to collect the hire car.
With GPS help we made our way to Manchester by the Sea and thankfully, here we found a great café, The Peach Street Café, with great coffee and wi-fi! Now we explored the town, then took the scenic coast road passing some luxurious looking summer residences with uninterrupted views of the sea. We turned back to town and then spent time looking for the right road to take us across to New Hampshire. We fancied visiting America's Stonehenge on our way to the second Manchester of the day.
It was quite interesting, but somewhat overstated and not recognised by the Parks or National monument authorities.
So on the Manchester NH, our second of the day and we think our fourth in all. We quickly found the place we had booked to stay - Ash Street Inn - and it is lovely We were made very welcome by proprietors, Eric and Darlene Johnston. They gave us loads of local information including some suggestions for dinner. We chose 11Eleven Bistro and dined on Beef fillet crostini, Duck Spring Rolls followed by Shrimp Linguine and Crabmeat stuffed Sole. It was all delicious.
