Goodbye Montreal Hello Fredericton and Digby Ferry and Nova Scotia shores

This trip to Fredericton was the longest - almost 1,000 km and I drove most of it - Wouter did some driving but we were all tired by the time we got to the Ramada Hotel. Montreal road signage was chaotic so we missed our turn and did a little bit of a road detour - nice but almost added to the time.


Here we are after eating our picnic!

The picture on the right is us Wouter and I sitting on the Princess of Acadia Ferry from Saint John to Digby. It is a 3 hour ride from the time you drive on until the time you drive off!

We then drove to Harbourville from Digby about 1.5 hours. We stopped off for groceries first in Berwick and then drove over the escarpment to Harbourville on the Bay of Fundy which has the highest tides in the world - up to 11kms high! Harbourville is a very small working fishing port - not picturesque in the pretty sense but interesting as you will see.

This is the "beach"area outside our house - the house is below -

Here is a shot of the boats on the dry ground with the tide out - then with the tide up.

This is the shot with the boats in the water.

These boats to the left are working fishing boats - mostly lobster I think!

The first evening was so clear and the sunset lovely - this boat is right in front of our beach house apartment.
