August 20th

We went for hair cuts in the am. Ralph $11.00 and Marie $18.00. Marie got her nails done at noon. We finally got internet connection and did our blog. We bumped into Ralph's cousin Cecil and wife Irene. We picked up a pizza and had supper with Mom,Rob and Barb. Sad to say good bye to them. Later we said our good byes to Cindy,Bonnie and family.

August 21st

Good bye PEI. Hello New Brunswick. We travelled across the Confederation Bridge, drove through Moncton NB,and down the Fundy Coastal Drive. We arrived at Ponderosa Pine RV Park at noon. We went to see the world famous Hopewell Rocks. (1km down the road) We were very fortunate that low tide was at 1pm and high tide was at 7pm. The highest tides in the world(30 feet) are in the Bay of Fundy. We walked on the bottom of the ocean floor around the Flower Pot rocks,climbed over boulders,walked through arches in the huge boulders and onto the mud flats(the river running through this is the Chocolate River). At 5:30 pm we went by shuttle to the same area. The tide was coming in quickly. Dozens of kayaks were paddling through the area we had previously walked. Woh!A definite highlight! Nice campground and lovely evening for a campfire.

August 22nd

We drove another 4 hours to get to St Andrews by-the-Sea(historic resort town near NB and Maine border). We went through Fundy National Park,St John and the Reversing Falls and the coast line of southern NB. We got a campsite at Kiwanis Oceanfront Campground on the tip of the peninsula over looking the Bay of Fundy. The difference between low and high tide is amazing. We drove 30minutes away to St Stephens and went to the Ganong Chocolate Museum.
The first heart -shaped box and chicken bones candy were made here. We were almost sick after eating free samples of chocolates. We invited our camping neighbours Paul and Debbie to our campfire and watched the sunset on the Bay of Fundy. (beautiful)
