Arrival!!

Arrival
            Before we get to the Canadian border we do what every good Canadian does.  Hit a Walmart.  We stock up on groceries and other miscellaneous stuff for wilderness survival (beer and wine).  Passing through customs was a non-issue.  And then we are in New Brunswick.  The first thing we noticed was that the speed limits here are really fast given the kind of roads you are driving.  Maybe they are just better drivers here. 
            We stop for lunch at a diner overlooking a bay and eat on the patio.  Weather is gorgeous and the food is good.  Nice to be back in Canada.

            After lunch we soldier on.  As we approach the Bay of Fundy you notice a significant increase in the size and number of hills.  As we approach the campground it becomes very steep, like lowest gear steep.  Great, that will make towing the trailer out of here so much fun. 
            Finally we arrive!  3:15.  Oops, apparently there was a time change somewhere in our route.  Make that 4:15.  Seems like we have been driving forever.  The park is gorgeous and our site is very nice.  The sites here are big and secluded.  Heavily wooded between neighbours and we are relatively close to the washrooms.  Well…. Ryan and I are always close to the washrooms.
            It took us a couple of hours to set up while the kids explored and played on the playground.  Apparently they have WiFi here.  I’ll have to check that.

            After we settle and have dinner we roast some marshmellows around the fire and it is early to bed.
