Big Mistake

           We just couldn’t take the PEI weather anymore.  Too be honest, I am glad I have visited PEI but I have no interest in going back.  The weather didn’t help.  So we decided at noon to pack up after being promised good weather only to have grey clouds as far as you can see.  By the time we got on the road it was 3:00 but no big deal since we only had a 2 ½ hour drive to our next stop, Kouchibouguac (I bet you can’t pronounce it) in New Brunswick.  The Confederation Bridge was cool (minus the cost) and just like that we were now starting our final leg of the trip.
            Unfortunately, I have not really kept track of days and dates so we didn’t realize it was a holiday weekend here in New Brunswick until we arrived only to find that everything was booked solid (our reservations didn’t start until tomorrow).  So we headed into town to find a motel except we couldn’t find a town.  We found one motel that wanted $135.  No.  We ended up settling in a KOA-like park.  Possibly the worst camping experience of my life.  It is like a Chucky Cheese only camping.  Kids everywhere with no supervision, open field camping, loud, up late.  Horrible.   We should have just toughed it out in PEI.  Let’s just hope the weather turns around or we could be moving on to our next stop.
