Oh boy, do we have a lot of catching up to do. We've been in more remote areas and the campgrounds haven't had Internet access. This will be a long one as we've seen and done a lot of cool stuff. The flower pot rocks were totally neat. The pictures will prove it - the bottom of the flower pots is where the water comes at high tide. Sunday we spent the night in Shediac, New Brunswick - the lobster capital of the world (also see pic). Monday, we took the 11 mile bridge to Prince Edward Island. We went to the home of L.M. Montgomery, the author of the Anne of Green Gables books (the librarian in me made us stop). We stayed in one of our favorite campsites so far, at Brudenell Provincial Park (also see pic). Tuesday, we took the 75 minute ferry off Prince Edward Island into Nova Scotia. We were the last vehicle on the bottom deck with the semi trucks. We were the only vehicle that wasn't a semi on that level. The traffic director told us they'd find a hole for us and we fit with inches to spare. That night we stayed at another neat campground on a mountain salmon stream in Margaree, Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, we got a very, very, very, late start on Wed. because Larry decided he liked the campsite too much. He took off at 8:00 a.m and did not come back until 5:00. So we read books and chilled while we waited. We drove a whole hour and stayed last night at Cape Breton National Park. The Cabot Trail on Cape Breton is said to be one of the world's more scenic drives. It is.........it definitely lives up to its reputation (again, see pics). We both decided we liked the Pacific Coast Highway better though. We plan to check out Halifax tomorrow and then go into the Nova Scotia side of Fundy Bay. We plan to take the 3 hour ferry off Nova Scotia on Sunday into New Brunswick and then head to Maine the same day.
Comments from Eldon: TV sucks in the camper, I only get one channel if I'm lucky, but Cindy says we are not here to watch TV. She's right, but it hurts. The river we camped at was beautiful but the only place I can get a fishing license is from a natural resource office that I haven't found yet. The Hopewell Rocks were very cool. I would have liked to seen them at high tide too. The Cabot Trail would probably have won over the Pacific if we would have spotted whales and puffins which they say are abundant (there you go, should been here yesterday - boy, have I heard that).
Comments from Larry: The salmon river was totally cool. I would have been gone longer, but Cindy and Eldon's yelling for me was getting on my nerves. They act like this is their vacation.
