We headed along the north shore of NS towards Pugwash
Nova Scotia has some really beautiful scenery and wonderfully warm people. We decided that, given our timescales, that we should make some milage and headed to Fredericston - for no other reason than it appeared the only stop within reach. I have NEVER seen so may trees. You know that you're in the middle of nowhere when the only advert is expounding the ecological benefits of trees...... So we made our own entertainment - here's one of JJ, taken bike-to-bike
What a find Fredericston was. I try not to expect anything and to just enjoy what I find. But Fredericston is a fantastic town/city. The Carriage House B and B was great (Steve the owner was especially helpful and fellow bike nut) We found fantastic food at The Blue Door, great beer and and the most attentive barman at The Snooty Fox. If you're ever in the area - look them up :) On the down side, they had a music festival....... ;)
JJ thought that the BMW R1200 was a bit tall and has traded it, deciding to complete the journey on this more manageable model. We shall return to the UK slightly later than anticipated ........
Still trying to set strict mileage targets, we yet again, failed miserably. We were heading to Riviere du Loup to catch the ferry to the north side of the St Lawrence river (better biking roads). We headed up the 102 which follows the St John's river until it turned into the 105 and, what can only be described as a farm track. So back on the trans-Canada highway. Our resident photographer was getting bored with the solitary subject of trees so turned her tallents elsewhere.
But given our late start and the fact that moose - the docile but big version - becomes active at dusk, we bailed at Edmundston.
And found, yet another great BnB
