Aug 11-13 Moncton, NB.

Went through Miramichi, Canada's Irish Capital. Picked up new VHS radio antenna in Dieppe, next door to Moncton. Knocked ours off going through a snowshed near Revelstoke. Played 18 holes of golf at Country Meadows GC for $60 for 2 with power cart, then were allowed to stay in the parking lot overnight at no charge.Played again next day on our golf card so was $30 for 2 with powercart. Went for a fantastic scallop/fries/salad dinner at clubhouse for $9.95 per and fancy coffees 3 for $10. Doesn't get ant better than this and another free night thrown in.









Next morning we drove out to the Hopewell Rocks near the Bay of Fundy and caught a fairly low tide so we were able to actually walk on the ocean floor. The Chocolate River, which drains into the bay, is aptly named as it almost dries up on the low tides. Picture a melted Cadbury's Milk Chocolate bar and you have the picture. After the low tide the bay takes 6 hours and 13 minutes to fill up again.



Then off to PEI. across the Confederation Bridge, 8 miles across and takes 12 minutes !!
