Port Hawkesbury Nova Scotia to Moncton New Brunswick 236 miles
The day is starting out sunny. Sure hope that holds up. The car didn’t start on its own so a couple of people pushed it to the top of the hill. Rob actually got it to start so we didn’t have to get a pull. The landscape has flattened out and is mostly agricultural. We saw some livestock but not too many. We drove along the shoreline some of the time. The housing doesn’t seem as well maintained as we have seen the rest of the way. We drove in and out of small villages. Some of those houses are beautiful Victorians. It’s Sunday so more activity around the churches. We drove some on divided highways. Traffic is much heavier on these than on the side roads. The side roads are usually narrow with no shoulders. There no pull outs either. Since the terrain is flatter today there are no passing lanes. The roads are usually rough and today lots of turns. A pickup was following us and passed on a double line. Sirens went off and lights flashed. An unmarked police car pulled the driver over. We felt badly because this was not one of the hot rod type drivers. Then we crossed into the province of New Brunswick. Wildlife spotting of one deer and four ducks. Suddenly we were in Moncton. This is a much larger town. They even have a Costco. We had to drive down Main Street to get to our hotel. The downtown was very busy. Lots of sidewalk cafes. We ate dinner at Catch 22 to enjoy more seafood. When we returned Rob spent some time working on the car. He tightened up the fan belt tonight.
