Eastward Ho!: New Brunswick - The Acadian Coast & Across the 'Bridge' to PEI

We walked around downtown (Bathurst) and climbed another observation tower. Then it was a driving day, during a stop in Miramichi we saw an Alberta plate. The plan was to stay at Kouchibouguac National Park but they had no sites with power available and since it was very hot we decided to carry on and find a place with power so we can use the AC. We camped at Cap Lumiere, amongst a diverse group, several from Quebec, 4 from Switzerland and a couple from Arizona.

This morning we continued along the Acadian coast, I knew the basics but I didn't realize that they had a flag, it's the French tricolor with one gold star in the corner. It's everywhere, painted power poles, decorations on houses. We saw the giant lobster in Shediac, which is 'the lobster capital of the world'. So we bought some for supper so we could try out our new tools. I visited a unique craft shop in an old church at Murray's Corner there was a lot of sea glass items, I guess the beach there yields an abundance of treasures. I wonder, do these crafts people throw more bottles in the ocean to get more stock? We bought ice cream at Lake's General Store (aka Sam Drucker's) they had everything. After that stop we arrived at Cape Jourimain and headed across the 13 km Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island. We are camped at Cavendish, very near 'Green Gables'. This evening, while doing laundry, I met a couple from Westlock.
