Day 101: North Sydney NS to Fredericton NB

 Dear Gilles, 

When we left yesterday - the weather was gusting winds to 70km/hour. The ferry rocked. It was sometimes fun to walk. 

We had a cabin with a window which was a super nice perk.

After playing a few games of Exploding Kittens - I was in bed just after 7. 

I slept HARD.

And I slept through to 5am. I think my body knew it was in a safe space. There was no driving to be done in the immediate future. I was in a bed instead of a tent. 

I did kick the boys off their devices and out of the room for a bit - and they played more Exploding Kittens and came back after 10pm. 

I saw the sunrise.  

Then we drove through Cape Breton Island to Moncton NB. 

In Moncton we visited Resurgo Place, which we had missed the first time around. 

I thought about seeing the Tidal Bore again, but it wasn't expected until 8:30pm. The last time we were here it was pouring down rain. 

Through our drive to Fredericton we passed many places we had visited - like Magnetic Hill.

Now we're in a hotel - 649 km later - which is fantastic because it's raining outside and it was a long driving day to be setting up a tent for the night.

  1. Are you still there or have you moved on? I hope the heat and humidity isn't too much. It's not fun being out in it because it saps your strength and decreases your fun.
