Super 8 Motel 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 ...

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

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.

... where staying in visual sight of each other was easy, our convoy now found itself spread out over several kilometers, separated by an endless stream of large transport trucks, recreational vehicles and other annoyances. Much “Are you still out there?” chatter on the radios ensued.

In Edmundston we stopped for a delicious and nourishing lunch at a McDonald's. The cashier for Malcolm’s line had a bad cough but, having been ...

We had to check out of the hostel by 10:30, we did so, it had been a good few nights, we headed to the supermarket for supplies for our 24 hour train journey back to Montreal and on to Toronto!! The train was not until 17:15, but we just chilled in the station, its nice to now and then!! We checked our bags early and jus waited it out. The train turned up on time and we departed! The journey turned out to be hellish, you cannot dam well sleep, I mean they ...

We said our farewells and headed towards Moncton NB. It's a beautiful day as we head south on the Acadian Coastal route. There are so many breathtaking vistas on this stretch of highway. Lots of fishing villages...lobster being the catch of importance in this part of the world. Just about every home has an abundance of lobster traps and fishing boats in their yards. We were ...

... 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.

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 ...

... but somehow they just need to get the stupid hammers out and let each other have it, once the pent up energy is out everyone is much better. Might have some seafood again tonight for supper, might as well. I don't know if we'll have any internet connection in PEI, we'll try and keep you posted. Hope everyone is well, we're still having a great time and can't wait to get up and see what each day brings. xo Alison, Eleanor, Hayley & Justine
