Katahdin Lodge in Northern Maine Houlton

... und die WCs bereits geschlossen: Closed for the Season. Toll! <br>Da beschlossen wir, in einem Motel zu übernachten. Zuerst kochten und assen wir das Abendessen im Camper auf dem Parkplatz vor unserem Zimmer, danach ging es ab in die Wärme. Ach, war das herrlich! Ein warmes Zimmer, warmes Bett und eine heisse Dusche!!!! Luxus pur!

Heute Morgen sind wir wieder zu den Hopewell Rocks gefahren, um die Gesteinsformationen bei Flut anzuschauen. Das war wirklich recht eindrücklich!<br><br>Bei den Felsen haben wir einem Amerikanischen Ehepaar aus Kalifornien unsere Gezeitentabelle überlassen und sonst noch ein paar Tipps gegeben. Die haben sich so darüber gefreut, und machten gleich ein Foto von uns beiden ...

... our B&amp;B - Kilborn House. Arriving at a new B&amp;B always creates a little anxiety - never sure what we&#8217;ll find, new people, new guests etc. As we approached the home, we looked at each other with some trepidation - before us stood a very old structure stuck incongruously in the middle of downtown Fredericton. But&#8230;.as the saying goes, you can&#8217;t judge a book by it&#8217;s cover. We were greeted by Bonnie who took ...

... North Atlantic Right whale which was (Capt. Chris told us) unusual for the Bay of Fundy. We stayed out in the area for about an hour floating and touring this area for other whales. We all agreed we got our monies&#8217; worth for the whale tour, and it was well worth our time.<br><br>After the boat tour, it was the dinner hour and someone recommended a restaurant in the area ...

... on the St. Croix River. Ady, Sam and Dee are in a small two room cottage, with Ron and Nancy next door in a one room cottage. Our accommodations are very basic, but the view is to die for. We are right on the shore, and have a perfect view of the shoreline. The water is tied into the Bay of Fundy tidal waves, with the water going out about 3:00 p.m. and returning about 6:00 p.m. <br><br>It&#8217;s interesting to walk on the shore, and then see it ...

... going strong. A tour of some of the historic houses and gardens will convince you of the old money lingering on.<br>. <br><br>Visitors can stay at the Algonquin Hotel with amenities like a swimming pool, tennis courts and gardens or pitch a tent at the campground at the end of the main street<br><br><br><br>I am lucky to have a special destination with a view of Passamaquoddy Bay and a garage for my bike.

... snowbirds going home after wintering in the warm. Canadians can only spend 6 mths in the States too, or they loose their health benefits. Anyway, the journey went well, in fact we had sunshine before we left NS and once into New Brunswick we had blue skies too. There was plenty of snow around but the roads were clear and very quiet. After a comfort stop at the welcome centre on the border between NS and NB we pushed on towards the ...

... etc, Newfie decided that it was a chance to explore too. This wasn't such a good idea and I had to keep a watchful eye out for her. To my dismay the only thing lacking in this newly discovered campground (apart from the electricity) was the washrooms. Still it was a place to park for the night and allow me to recharge my batteries. Total kms travelled for the day 550kms

... and Deb. After getting situated we headed for the Riverside Pub for dinner. Incorporated in 1856, the first among New Brunswick's current towns in the province to gain that municipal status, Woodstock reflects its Victorian heritage in its many fine 19th Century homes, churches and civic buildings. Woodstock is located in the heart of the St. John River Valley, at two ...

... turkeys. If you haven't noticed we take great glee in spotting wild animals. We stopped for the night in Murdo, SD. Day 6 Time change. Up at 8:00 our time 7:00. ON the road by 9:30. It will be mostly a day of driving. We did stop at the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. The building's facade is changed every year by using corn leavings (husks, fuzz, leaves and some kernels to make very detailed mosaics on the outside. The first Corn Place was constructed in 1892 and the ...
