We enjoyed our restful morning walking Moncton's trail beside the bay of Fundy before starting on our overdue chores; laundry and oil changes. We decided to stay another night before going to PEI, it is a beautiful hotel, in a great location, and the beverages are cold! At 2:45 we rushed back to the Bay of Fundy trail to witness the tide coming in. It was like watching a dam opening on a riverbed, the foamy red, silty water rushed passed us rising higher and higher. The Main Street of Moncton passes in front of the hotel, it is where the locals cruise back and forth showing off their hot cars, trucks and bikes. We spent a couple hours people watching after dinner. It reminded both of us of the Tyee Plaza in the old days when it was the local hang out!
It was a 95 klm ride to the Confederation bridge, the site was definitely a "wow" moment, 12.9 klms long it is the longest in the world.
We drove north for a couple hours before heading south to Charlotte town, passing acres and acres of potatoes in bloom, both red and white. I never knew the potato blossoms were scented until today. Dairy farms with Holstein cows and hay bales were between the small communities, the roads were busy and it took four phone calls to get a room for tonight; lots of tourists.
