Sept 25-27, 2021 Minister’s Island
We got up early in the morning and rushed to St. Martin to visit the St. Martin Sea Caves. The Sea Caves are only accessible during low tide which happened to be at 9:15 AM and it is an hour’s drive from Sussex to St. Martin. The tides at St. Martin can be up to…

Sept 23-24, 2021 Tidal Bore Rafting!
We spent most of the day driving back to the Fundy Discovery Center, stopping for lunch at a scenic park along the shore. This would be our third time visiting the Fundy Discovery Center which is very unusual since we usually do not like to backtrack. However, Nova Scotia is almost like an island with…

Sept 20-22, 2021 Lobster Rolls at Peggy’s Cove
The morning broke on a beautiful sunny day so we Olivia and I returned to the Wave once again while Holly slept in. Olivia was outgrowing her clothes quite quickly so after lunch in Rover we went to a local mall to buy some new pants for her. That pretty much took up our entire…

Sept 18-19, 2021 The Halifax Wave!
We woke in the morning to find that the parking lot was full. Turns out one of the buildings we had parked in front of hosts a weekend farmer’s market. Bonus! We went to the farmers market and had a nice breakfast and got a few veggies. Afterwards I took Olivia to the Discovery Museum…

Sept 15-17, 2021 Travelling
Our destination was Halifax, about a 3 hour drive. We took the entire day to get there between our usual late start and a long stopover at the Fundy Discovery site again. Can’t stress enough the joys of a great playground and excellent free Wifi. We eventually reached a Walmart on the suburbs of Halifax…

Sept 13-14, 2021 The Cabot Trail
We woke up to a glorious sunny calm day looking directly out onto the lake Bras d’Or. We were so close to the water we could have jumped out of the window directly into the lake. This is the kind of waterfront view for which people pay a lot of money and it was all…

Sept 11-12, 2021 Nova Scotia!
We had planned to leave for Nova Scotia after lunch. Knowing that it would be a long drive day we decided to hit a local skate park so that Olivia could work out some energy before the drive. While at the park we met a nice retired couple travelling in a brand new 2021 class…

Sept 8-10, 2021 Tidal Bore and Giant Lobsters!
We got up extra early because we wanted to see the tidal bore in Moncton. A tidal bore is when a tide pushes water up a river, reversing the course of the river. The Petitcodiac River runs from the Bay of Fundy past Moncton and creates a tidal bore so strong that you can surf…

Sept 5-7, 2021 Travelling across New Brunswick
The season was turning fast so it was time to move on. We needed to get going to Mocton, New Brunswick which is about an 8 hour drive away and even though the seasons wait for no one we didn’t have to hurry too much so we would take a few days to get there. …

September 3-4, 2021 Quebec!
We headed into to the main part of Quebec City and immediately found problems in that many parking lots do not accept RV’s. The one lot we found that did accept RV’s wanted CAD$50 which was not happening. Eventually we found street parking for CAD$12 for 5 hours. We entered the Old lower city and…
