Make sure you take the boat trip out to the island to see the Puffins. I've never taken the Cat to Nova Scotia so can't comment. Although my wife and I keep saying we have to. Once you are north of Portmouth the traffic should not be a problem. There is a bike shop in Bar Harbor and I'm pretty sure they rent. I used them when we were there because a bike fell of the rack and got the front rim pretty much destoyed. You haven't lived until you see you bike bouncing down the road in your rear view. Just keep asking the questions, we will do our best to answer them..
