Best Western Saint John Hotel

Vom heutigen Tag gibt es leider keine Bilder. Den ganzen Tag hat es geregnet. Wir hatten die Fähre nach New Brunswick gebucht. Da die Fähre erst um 16.30 Uhr losfuhr, hatten wir genügend Zeit um Digby zu erkunden.<br>In Saint John angekommen, fielen mit den vielen Regentropfen auch schon die ersten Schneeflocken!<br>

... if there were any other things we should be seeing with our time remaining. The visitor centre is an old general store that houses many artefacts dating back to the early 1900&#8217;s. It has been set up to resemble what a general store would have looked like 100 years ago. Many original items lined the shelves; the musty smell of &#8217;old&#8217; was prevalent. It made me think of my uncle&#8217;s old stores that were so much a part of my growing up - although obviously a little ...

... just tailings from the defunct mine which spill down the side of a steep cliff. <br><br>From the park, we headed back to the Hopewell Rocks - unique rock formations carved in this area by the powerful tidal waters of the Bay of Fundy. These are a well known tourist attraction and include formations known as the &#8220; Flowerpots&#8221; Unfortunately, it started raining in torrents . We hiked down to the shoreline, but walking along the seafloor proved to be very unpleasant ...

... from our host of several places to eat dinner. We chose one on Market Square, a hot spot of dining places and the New Brunswick University. It was called &#8220;Billy&#8217;s Seafood.&#8221; We really liked the seafood there, and recommend it highly.<br><br>Well it&#8217;s getting late, and we will be on our way to St. Andrews-by-the-Sea tomorrow for two days of sight seeing and hopefully a whale watching tour.

... br>As the event draws nearer the energy in the house multiplies - in a good way - no one is freaking out, panicking, or crying - at least not on the outside.<br><br>The ceremony goes off wonderfully! the weather is perfect &amp; everyone is in high spirts as we head to the reception and lobster dinner. mmm... lobster.... Drinking, dancign and general good times ensue, and the party caries on till the wee hours...

... going there until they heard about it from me, or were just interested in the orphanage. For such a small, forgotten country, Benin is pretty amazing. The people, the culture, the religions! I can't wait for everyone to discover it. I hope they can all get a feel for the country even in the short time we are there.<br><br>Anyways, like I said, I will try to keep up with this the best I can. Wish us bon voyage!

Left Saturday night from Saint John; airports are uncomfortable places, I dislike being in any of them and something happens every single time I have to fly. This time, I felt the buzz of the new "enhanced" airport security from every angles!!!<br><br>Seasoned traveler, I should have known better than to wear my Gucci top bought in Cuba; my mind was thinking "practical", dress in layers, totally ...

... shore sites is near Peggy's Cove and the other is on the opposite shore of St. Margaret's Bay. The latter is the interment site. Then we moved campsites and visited Lunenburg where we sailed on the Bluenose II for a beautiful sunny afternoon. Lunenburg is a lovely spot with an outstanding old church (one of the oldest in Canada) and depicts the "carpenter gothic" style. (gothic style but "carved in wood") From there we ...

We arrived in Saint John last night at about 11pm and were we ever glad that we decided to book a hotel, because I would have probably just rolled myself up in a tarp and lied on the ground if we were camping...we were pretty exausted! After a wonderful sleep in our room on the 8th floor of the Hilton I woke up and looked out our harbour view window to see....nothing! It was ...
