Comfort Inn Moncton East

Heute Morgen gab es ein kaltes Erwachen. Der neue Kälterekord der Innentemperatur liegt nun bei 3 Grad. Wir freuten uns auf eine heisse Dusche. Aber denkste, die Duschen hatten statt Fenster Gitter, welche die Kälte ungehindert reinliessen. Und heisses Wasser gabs auch nicht wirklich, eher lauwarm. Das war doch ein toller Start. :-)

Wir fuhren Richtung Fundy Nationalpark. Unterwegs konnten wir bereits im ersten Schnee laufen. Brrrr......kalt! Einen Stopp legten wir am Cape ...

... things to see and do - seems to create a bit of anxiety for me. But…..you soon get into the ‘groove. We followed the Fundy Coastal drive along the south shore of New Brunswick, stopping in Sackville for a picnic (a small university city - very pretty). The essence of fall is surrounding us every where we go now and more and more autumn colors by the day.

We arrived at our B&B at about 5:30 PM. Elaine, our hostess said the house was about 200 years old ...

... another rental car just did not seem all that appealing so we chose to pay the drop-off fee and the bridge toll and keep our little red Dodge an extra day.

Had another delicious breakfast, packed up and drove across the Confederation Bridge and on to Amherst where we had lunch at the most popular joint in town - Tim Horton’s. Took a few pics and carried on to Moncton.

... customer have this globe? A thank you message was sent to the Cx for purchasing a real trax ring tone or random promotions .

This is relevant when a customer is asking why they have a "globe" icon next to the SMS indicator and they do not know how to remove it.

The weather is wet and dreary but our experience is exciting and invigorating! Cape Enrage gave us an afternoon and evening of changing skies and gave us great opportunities for memorable photos.
It was awesome to walk on the ocean floor and feel the vastness of the rock formation. Tides the height of a four store building rush through this Point. This definitely one of the great Marine Wonders of the World.

... was a small company that does tours of the area so we decided to go for that. Ben went to bed and I stayed up talking to a fascinating man in his 60's who has a house in Scotland but rarely stays there as he rents it out to uni students. He spends much of his time travelling on his motorbike and has been to many places despite having a bad leg from a motorbike accident. His daughter also lives in Pudsey - small world!!

... thought, plus there really wasn't much to it. The unique driving experience is really an optical illusion, whereby you appear to drive "downhill" to a particular posted mark, release the break and put the vehicle in neutral and go backwards. The surrounding hillside slopes away from the road creating an optical illusion that you are driving downhill.

... a distinctive part of Canada. We stayed for about 2-3 hours, long enough to notice a distinctive change in the water level; the sandbars that were visible when we got there were long gone by the time we left, as the water was actually lapping around the bottom of the flowerpots. Back in Moncton, we saw a bit of street music as part of the seafood festival, and had a delicious lobster dinner.

When we booked this trip earlier in the summer of 2006, we had no idea what would happen in early August: a bomb scare in a London airport, where the culprits were apparently planning to bring liquid explosives onto a plane. You know, the reason that we now have to put liquids in our carry-on luggage into containers no larger than 100ml, and put all of those containers in a clear plastic bag that holds no more than 1L ...

... bit...the weather was gorgeous and I hopefully accumulated somewhat of a tan...all in all it was an amazing weekend...it was cool to be part of such a big event...and one where there were people of all ages doing the same thing...enjoying a good concert! Cheers Ali P.S. This trip would not have been possible without Sheilagh letting us use her car for the trip and for her driving most of the way...cheers my dear...
