The Yearly Change-Over

Yesterday was the last day of our tourist season, and it was the passengers of the cruise vessel "VIKING MARS" who visited the island. 

After a guided walk through the Roosevelt Cottage they were all headed to the "Tea w.Eleanor" (Roosevelt) after which we dropped them off at the boat ramp in Lubec, ME again. 37 Good-Byes with big smiles is a wonderful reward for a happy tour.

Then today I woke up with a song in my head. This was a day without a tour - though not without a bit of work.

The agenda for the day contained the removal of the passenger seats from our 15-seater bus.

Once we had them out, the real work started. All parts of the previous years camper van conversion had been stored in the garage. They needed to be mounted together to make a nice big bed and a little kitchen unit. Carpet is covering the floor and after 6 hrs. of hard work crawling around in the interior it all looked quite comfortable.

Next thing on the agenda was the transport of room plants to a dear friend who is gonna baby them while we are soaking up the winter sun in sunny California.

While I was relaxing after all that work the phone rang. Another inquiry for an ISLAND TOUR at the end of October. I hate to say NO to a potential guest, but this time, I had to. A week from now we'll be in Colorado picking up our new-to-us motorhome. 

And we are really looking forward to this new adventure.

We still have a couple of days until departure and we know the days will just fly by. But from Sunday evening you might find daily updates on our journey out west.
