26-30SEP19 - Old Mystic, CT

Thursday AM, 26SEP, we head over to RV park office to inform them that we had “illegally” entered park last night & hooked up our electrical & water to our RV.  No problem since office was closed on our arrival, & we get last night for free.  After Corrie does some grocery shopping, we head into New London, CT, for lobster rolls at Capt Scotts Lobster Landing (last visited 2009).  We had cold lobster rolls - excellent, Rhode Island clam chowder (clear broth) – very good, New England clam chowder – poor, & cole slaw – good.

Our second reason for going to New London was because the internet says gas is 20-30 cents cheaper per gallon, compared to Mystic or Stonington.  It was & we filled up the Toad.  That evening the area was hit with 1/2 inch of rain in half hour.

Friday morning Dan started the day by washing the Toad.  For lunch we head to Costellos Clam Shack in Noank Village.  Corrie goes with lobster salad roll, Dan goes with fried whole belly clam roll, & we share lobster bisque.  Our original plan was to eat at Abbotts Lobster in the Rough.  Abbotts is well known & always busy, so we decided to go elsewhere.  Costellos was good, but it turns out that they are really owned by Abbots Lobster in the Rough?  Then it was off to Mystic for a walkabout (too crowded/busy).

Saturday thru Monday (end of Sept) not much done because Corrie was under the weather; requiring an urgent care visit on Monday.  Dan did change out the RV driving lights.  Lastly we ran across another German tour bus similar to the one in Seward July 2015, during our Alaska trip.  For the adventurous the company (Rotel) has tours to the most remote parts of the world that you can drive an all-wheel drive bus to!
