Day 1 update

After 11.5 hours and 1100 kms. we have arrived in Moncton.  We didn't quite make it to Cape Hopewell; it was another 1.5 hour drive. The most notable change since we were here 25 years ago is the highway through New Brunswick...it was grreat!  Four lanes of "new" highway and the speed limit was 110 (or maybe a little bit more).  Practically the entire length of the highway is lined with "moose & deer" fence but we didn't see so much as a squirrel.  I hope the moose don't tell the whales that we are coming!

So far the nicest scenary was just west of Riviere du Loup in the St. Lawrence Basin:

Heading out early tomorrow morning to the Bay of Fundy and Cape Hopewell to see the "Flower Pot Islands"
Stay tuned for day number two's report.

Cheers!
