Delta Beausejour Moncton

... ein, welches uns einen tollen Ausblick auf die Bay of Fundy gewährte.<br><br>Unser Ziel heute waren die Hopewell Rocks. Es handelt sich hierbei um Gesteinsformationen, welche durch die gezeitenbedingte Erosion entstanden sind. Bei Ebbe kann man um die Formationen herumlaufen. Wegen des Tidenhubs von durchschnittlich 12 Metern stehen die Felsformationen zweimal täglich unter Wasser. Nachdem wir heute das Ganze bei Ebbe angeschaut haben, gehen wir morgen nochmals bei Flut vorbei.

... things to see and do - seems to create a bit of anxiety for me. But&#8230;..you soon get into the &#8216;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.<br><br>We arrived at our B&amp;B at about 5:30 PM. Elaine, our hostess said the house was about 200 years old ...

... Boarded the train and almost immediately were called to the dining room. The obligatory game of scrabble and then I assembled the beds and we crawled in for a rockin&#8217; and rollin&#8217; night. Surely cramped quarters but it still beats overnight airline flights.<br><br> Funny how these compartments didn't seem so cramped when Barry &amp; I made the trip from Moncton to Quebec City.<br><br>

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

Monday, September 7 &#8211; To Moncton N.B.... Following an early "continental" breakfast, whose sole merit was that it was free but still way too dear, we were on the road again. At Riviere-du-Loup the Trans Canada Highway dives to the south east and, symbolic perhaps for the disdain of Quebec for the impoverished economy of New Brunswick, becomes a two lane highway virtually all the way to Edmundston. After a thousand kilometers of divided highway ...

... 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.

Spent the morning doing the tourist thing - went to an Acadian museum, visitors' centre, etc. The most eventful part of today was a short afternoon drive from Moncton to Hopewell Rocks, which is in (on? near?) the Bay of Fundy, the site of the highest tides in the world. It was actually quite a hike to get from the visitors' centre to the flowerpot rock formations, but definitely worth it to see ...

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...
