East Coast

Normally, I'd want to do somewhat of recap of this trip.  After all, this is the longest road trip we've done and it is the first time I've been out on the east coast.  But for whatever reason, I just don't feel like writing much these days.

Day 1 - Quebec City - Nothing particularly interesting here. Just a stopover. Dinner at a restaurant we've already been to.

Day 2 - Fredericton - Nothing interesting here either.  We had planned a few things to see, but when we got there it was pouring rain.

Day 3 - Halifax - Probably the best day.  Stopped at Peggy's Cove, but it was incredibly windy and stormy.  Randomly stopped at a lobster retailer and had a giant lobster and really fresh oysters.  Lunenburg was a very colourful place.  Unfortunately, our dinner plans didn't happen cuz it was too late.

Day 4 - Charlottetown - Of course, green gables.  Walked around downtown a bit.  Unfortunately, I didn't find all the mice.  Dinner at a place recommended on the Food Network.  Good food, but rather pricey.

Day 5 - St John - Went through Moncton during the day.  Magnetic Hill.  Hopewell Rocks was nice.  Too bad we couldn't stay for the whole day and watch the tides.

Day 6 - Montreal - Again.  Stopover.  Of course, St Joseph Oratory.  First time going there since BA became a saint.  The place seems kinda different from previous visits.

Overall a good trip, although too short and missed Cabot Trail.  Looked through some travel brochures and magazines and something did catch my attention: biking trip in PEI.  Seems like it would be a nice way to take in the scenery.  But, of course, not something for everyone.

Until next time......
