Hello from Saint John, New Brunswick where it's been a mostly rainy, cooler day. We left Montague around 8:20 this morning and crossed the Confederation Bridge from Prince Edward Island back to New Brunswick. There are only 2 ways to cross - ferry which we did Saturday or this bridge which is 8.1 miles long. There's no charge going across to PEI, but they get you coming back either by ferry or bridge and Daisy and Toad added up to $58.75.
We stopped for a Tim Horton fix in Shediac and arrived in Saint (not St. but Saint) John around 1:00. Some scenic farm country along the way...
We are in the Rockwood Park Campground and after settling Daisy, took off in Toad for the historic district. Checked out the City Market, had lunch at Billy's Seafood Company (salmon sandwich and Greek salad) and then walked around.

Saint John is called the "Fundy City" and is the largest city in New Brunswick and 2nd largest in the maritime provinces after Halifax. We saw one of their unique phenomenas - reversing falls where the tides of the bay reverse the water flow of he river for several kilometers!
Around 6:00 tonight, it really poured!
Looked out the window to this pretty park at lunch
Saint John was establishd in 1785!

endency2 Hi Pat: We crossed over the bridge going to PEI from New Brunswick. It is a beautiful bridge and a lovely ride. Shopped for pewter in Saint John and I believe that was where we saw or tried to see a changing of the guard one evening. We made a mistake in the change of times and were an hour late. We sat for sometime thinking that they were late in doing this regimen only to learn that we had not heeded the time change. Oh well, it is a nice city and we did enjoy Saint John. Went to help Brooke in the lake house today. They delivered the furniture and it looks very nice. Can't wait for you to see the finished product. I think you will like everything. Safe travels and enjoy your time in New Brunswick. JudyB
