Day3 . . . from L'Etete, NB to Moncton NB

We left Dominion Hill Country Inn early this morning after a really delicious breakfast. I give this inn five stars! We spotted this little waterfall just down the road.

We met up with Marilyn and Billy in St. George NB at the Tim Hortons and they lead the way to L'Etete and Green's Point Lighthouse. It was pouring rain and we didn't care . . . well Hal minded a bit LOL.

This is one of the Deer Island ferries off to pick up the kids on the islands to bring them to school.

The fog was quite thick and the fog horns were really loud.

A sea urchin . . .

We filled Snow with gas and picked up some lunch at the Circle K/Irving gas station in St. George. They had a very good selection of grab and go meals available. And then we said goodbye to our wonderful tour guides.

Next stop was Lepreau Falls and Rapids.

Lesson learned today . . . the GPS isn't always right. We were trying to locate a covered bridge near Lepreau and our GPS led us down this abandoned road. The fauna is very quickly taking over the asphalt. We found a place to turn around and got back out of there.

Before heading out in search of another route to the covered bridge, we stopped at the Lepreau Rapids.

We did manage to find the Little Lepreau River No. 1.5 covered bridge. This bridge was built in 1910 and is 32 m in length.

The Reversing Falls in St. John NB were quite a fascinating phenomena. Entrance to the Skyway is a bit pricey but I think it was worth it because the 20 minute video we watched explains how the tides actually force the river to flow backwards at some point each day. There were also giant cookies, a moon rock, and a nice gift shop.

The stainless steel and glass platform is located 110' above the average high water mark.

They even have a moon rock on display at the Skywalk. It weighs over 70 pounds. Hal could barely lift it . . . thank goodness since it is alarmed.

The challenge at St. Martin NB is to take a photo of two covered bridges and a lighthouse in one shot. I did it. What a colourful town. If you need to know anything, just stop in the local Huttges General Merchants.

From St. Martin we headed to Moncton NB to check into our hotel, skipping the last 2 stops on our list. Part of the trip was very dark and foggy but we finally came through to overcast, no fog, and a more comfortable drive.

We are at the Motel 6 and have to say the room is nice and clean and tastefully but simply decorated. There is no mini fridge or microwave though. A quick visit to the front desk secured a microwave for our room. We ate bowls of homemade chili for supper.
