On Monday, we drove to St. Martins on the Bay of Fundy. Getting there was a real experience. We programed St. Martins into the GPS (Carmen, the Garmin) , and it took us the most direct route. It was the worst roads we had been on yet - narrow, rough, winding, and hilly - not fun in a motor home! 50km was too fast most of the time. At one point, it directed us down a narrow black top road that became a dirt road and dead ended in a farmer's front yard. We were just bearly able to turn the motor home around without taking off the toad. It took us over four hours to drive just over 150 km. We stayed at the Seaside Tent & Trailer Park which is right on the Bay. We were less than 50 meters from the water. P.S. I think we'll fire Carmen!
In the afternoon, we drove the Bay of Fundy Trail. The trail runs 11km along the coast line (top left photo). There are many stops along the way and an interperative center at the end. The falls was one of the stops. To get to the falls, we had to use the rope steps (58 steps) but the climb was worth it. We really enjoyed the trail!
We ate dinner at a wonderful restaurant. We had their 'world famous chowder' and shared a delicious seafood platter. YUM! After dinner, we drove to a local lighthouse and took the picture (top right) that you see.
Our Garmin, Betty, has led to a few heated discussions...Nestor says at least he can turn HER off!!! She's usually pretty good but every once in a while she pulls a stunt like Carmen!
