Residence Inn 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 ...

... 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’ and rollin’ night. Surely cramped quarters but it still beats overnight airline flights.

Funny how these compartments didn't seem so cramped when Barry & I made the trip from Moncton to Quebec City.

Why does ...

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.

... for the first time since we left Maple Ridge, it started to rain. We've been really lucky with the weather! And unlike the Wet Coast, the rain today will stop tonight and we will return to sun/cloud tomorrow! We'll be heading into Nova Scotia tomorrow but where we hang our hats right now is anyone's guess- we'll decide over dinner tonight.

We left Moncton at 2:30pm Saturday July 21st 2008. We transfered busses in Turo NS and we started our way . As we were driving we (The Bus) was pulled over but 2 RCMP cars and delyed us by almost 1hr.. We made it to North Sydney at 11:30pm (ADT) and we got to Newfoundland @ 7:30 NLT

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 ...

... fluids? That happened less than 2 weeks before we were supposed to fly from Toronto to Moncton.

I bring this up because it explains why my mother insisted that we get to the airport 2.5 hours before our departure, even though airport guidelines suggest arriving only 60-90 minutes before domestic flights. She thought that the security lines might have been long, which they weren't. Given the fact that ...

... Rocks. Our tour guide was great and picked us up at the B&B and dropped us off for the bus, and didn't even mind hauling our packs along on the trip. The rocks are amazing (search google for pics). Our guild talked non-stop the whole way from picking us up to dropping us off, all about the history of NB, the formation of the rocks, how the tidal bore works... everything! Very VERY worth the money to get a guided tour (Road to Sea Tours, in case you are planing a trip this way!)
