Rodd Park House 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 ...

... 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 ...

The original plan was to take the bus from Charlottetown to Amherst, rent a car there & drive about for a few hours prior to the train’s departure late in the afternoon. However, the thought of getting up at 5:30 to catch the bus & carrying a boxed breakfast plus going through the hassle of taking a taxi to the bus depot & dealing with luggage on and off the bus as well as in and out ...

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.

Jen made a sales call on the New Brunswick Community College in St John, then we headed towards St. Martins - a town on the coastal Fundy drive. Well, I have to tell you driving to St. Martins was a real waste of time. There were a couple of nice views of the Bay of Funday, and a couple of frozen-over lakes, but that was - oh and a whole ...

... on paying. The couple camped next to us, and the only other tent on the site was a family on their way to Cape Breton, originally from...you guess it, Ottawa! Their two boys played with the kids till darkness was well underway and Kira decided this was the best place on earth. Jeremy was using mathematical equations to convince me that we could spend en entire summer here next year if I drove the 10-12 hours straight through. I think it had ...

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 ...

... tent on the main street where there was some live music and a stand selling clam chowder, crab cakes, and some other stuff - not your typical street food. Also, there were some silly blow-up things in the street, i.e. a large inflatable can of beer. We went to a couple of cooking demos, walked around the waterfront, and then went to a farmers market, to a couple of vintage shops/boutiques, and to a bistro for dinner.

We left Montreal on Monday, and took the "Ocean" (Via Rail's Montreal to Halifax service) and I have to say if you are planning to travel on this train pay the money and get the upgrade to a sleeper... and book it in October for the following June... the "comfort class" (otherwise known as the chairs) are not half as comfortable on this train as they are on the Canadian that travels from Vancouver to Toronto. I spent the night camped out in the 'club' car (no dining car for us ...
