Country Inn & Suites By Carlson Moncton

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 ...

... to the Maritimes and turned it into a B&B with an attached tea house. We were somewhat amused by the state of the home, obviously suffering a little from old age. It was getting to be slightly unlevel, and when you walked from one room to the other, you ‘climbed’ going one direction and ‘ran downhill’ going the other (slight exaggeration). However, a very good host and an excellent cook with a lot of home made fare to offer.

Went for a brisk walk ...

... 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.

... Anne) and were greeted by 2 very sweet ladies who shared the history with us. From here we cut over to the national park and strolled on the red sand beaches which were surrounded by the dunes.It would have been an absolute picture out of a movie with the green hills and azure sea were it not for the thousands of people ! I guess this is where all the tourists come to suntan however the jellyfish were so bad in the water, you ...

... themselves! Sometime after my second cup of (instant) coffee the kids woke up and Kira played with her stuffed chickadee that mimics the real call of the bird. The real chickadees then answered and it was a funny little caucophony of whistles while I finished packing up the site. It was a much better take down since I had done most of the packing last night. We headed out through the fishing/tourist town of Alma and took some pictures at low tide where ...

... 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.

... are currently cutting down their staff and encouraging self check-in, I suppose it might also have been reasonable to expect that the check-in lines might have been long. They weren't. So, we were at the departure gate within about 20 minutes of arriving at the airport, and had over 2h to wait. But, as my mother said, better to be laughing at how early you are than crying because you missed your flight. Got into ...

Anyway we drove just out of town to a beach a set up tent. Well - pouring rain in ...

... in the world that has a recorded 16 foot tide. We had waited all morning for the tide to go out so that we could walk on the ocean floor and walk around the Bay, literally. We found the much talked about flower pots. At high tide they are little islands with trees and low tide they look like flower pots. We walked down the iron steps that had been put in for the tourists benefit and headed on our walk through thick wet ocean ...
