September 18, 2022,Bar Harbor-Bar Island Teil 2 - auf Mount Desert Island -Maine-USA🇺🇸

Here part 2
Walking distance from Bar Harbor and Bar Island ONLY at low tide! Therefore pay close attention to the tides! If you're on the island and the tide comes in, you're stuck for the next 9 hours 🙈🙈
Bar Harbor is a very neat, cute little place where you can stroll, dine and go on whale watching tours.
