The end of the roadtrip

We left Prince Edward Island, with snow on our window! amazing the weather here, it was 3 degrees and when we got back to New Brunswick it was warm again. We had to cross the Confederation Bridge, which was build 10 years ago and crosses 12km of river, it's pretty impressive and very long for a bridge.



We headed to Fundy Bay, that's between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where you can watch the watertides, which reaches sometimes a difference of 45 feet (I think that's around 15 metres). They say this is the highest tide in the world and it goes pretty fast. We stood there for one hour and you could see the water coming in a metre every 10 minutes.



The rest of the day and the day after we spend in Fundy National Park, which is located along the bay. It offers some nice forests, lakes, views and animals off course (which made my friend a bit uncomfortable this time considering our last meeting with the black bear :-) ). We dared to camp one more night, but it was freezing cold (around 2 degrees) and because of the rain the last weeks all the wood was very wet, which made it very difficult to keep the fire burning, but we survived and our camping equipment was usefull one more time (defenitely the extra blanket we bought).





In the late afternoon we drove back to Quebec, because on the 26th we have to be back in Montreal to drop the car off and that was still around 900km away. On our way we passed the longest house bridge in the world, woodstock and we had some great views over the Apalachian Mountains.


We stranded in Riviere du Loup and had to speak French again, although the slang they speak on the other east part wasn't English either. It was more a funny dialect mixing Frech and English with a funny tone, very difficult to understand.
So now I'm sitting in Quebec city, which is a very beautiful city, with an old town to cruise around in, some nice restaurants and pubs, but very fancy as well. At the moment we drove more then 6000km already and if you look on the map, it looks like we haven't seen a thing, such a huge country. I'm swetting like a pig as well because overhere it's 30 degrees at the moment, which is a bit to much for me (I'm sure that all the people who know me well can agree with me on that matter). But we shouldn't be complaining, we had only a copple of days of rain, so we've been very lucky untill now.
It's end of May now and you do notice a difference of the amount of people who are walking around in the city. The tourist season is starting and frankly that brings the pleasure of travelling down a bit, so folks if you ever deceide to travel to Canada, avoid july and august and if you can go in may or oktober.
