Spending the major part of our day in our rented air-conditioned van turned out to be a good choice. On our stop for lunch in Moncton we exited our vehicle and were mauled by the blasting heat. Temperature highs that day registered 37 degrees Celsius. Wow.
The Confederation Bridge. Spanning the icy waters of the Northumberland Strait between PEI and New Brunswick. No ice visible this time of year, but apparently plenty of ice floes float down this stretch in the winter season. Hard to visualize on such a steaming hot day!
Takes a precise 9-minutes-and-11-seconds to cross, province to province. Accurately measured on an accompanying i-Device by a traveling youngster.
Our dapper chauffeur for the day.
Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick. Highest tide in the world, reaching 49 feet. And at low tide, you can descend a long flight of stairs to walk on the rocky ocean floor. Which we did.
Venturing into the ocean proved to be a muddy challenge.
Which had to be experienced by the two most daring in our group. Yuck.
On to Nova Scotia, and a quick stop at the Visitors Centre to pose by the Peggy's Cove replica.
Nope. We didn't buy it. Decided that he looked much better in the kilt.
