Canadian Maritimes Vacation

Day 2 - (Bangor, ME to St. Andrews, NB via US Rte 1 and Eastport)
We're in St. Andrews, NB in an RV park owned by the town right on the Bay of Fundy. Stopped in Eastport. Town trying to make a comeback, but off season and in the rain, it was virtually deserted.

We are in St. Andrews, New Brunswick on day 2-3 of the 30 day trek around NB, NS, PEI and the Gaspe in PQ. Yesterday was rainy, but the next few days are promised to be sunny. Will travel along Bay of Fundy looking for those high tides. Sun has already broken through this morning.

Crossing the border at Calais, ME to St. Stephen, NB was an hour ordeal because this was Vicroria day weekend and apparently many Canadians were in the U.S.We met several in the Bangor RV park PumpkinPatch.

The RV parks are relatively empty. This one is town-owned and right on the ocean and with wiFi. Nights are cool in the low 40s, but we all sleep like rocks. Had lobster and clams yesterday for lunch. Looking for lots more as we go.

Will poke around St. Andrews tomorrow then meander along the coast to St. John's.

The Fairmont Algonquin Hotel




Built in 1889, this castle-style resort sits perched on a hill, overlooking the town. This full-service resort offers 250 rooms, 5 restaurants, and numerous activities for all to enjoy. Within walking distance of all St. Andrews attractions, The Fairmont Algonquin is fondly referred to as the "CASTLE BY-THE-SEA."
