PEI to New Brunswick

 August 28, 2023

Stonehurst Golf and RV site 102

Moncton, NB

Today was our day to cross the 8 mile Confederation Bridge as we departed Prince Edward Island.  You don't pay to arrive on the island.  You pay when you depart.  Our route had us departing via the bridge which is 40% cheaper than the ferry.  

With our four axles, it cost us $67.25.  I guess if you factor in the free ferry ride to the island, it really isn't as expensive as is sounds.

Traffic flowed smoothly on the bridge.

We are now in New Brunswick.

We will miss the fertile fields of potatoes, corn, hay, and sunflowers on Prince Edward Island.  Lots of farmland on the island.

And we will miss our lovely grassy site that was perfect for a game of Murbles (similar to Bocce).

I'm not the only one who enjoys playing ball in the grass, but my balls have a bounce to them while the balls the two-legged use just roll.

After arriving in Moncton, we made plans to see another interesting phenomenal occurance caused by the tide.  Moncton has a nice area to view the Tidal Bore that occurs twice in 24 hours.

The tidal bore schedule for tonight was listed as 8:14 pm but the recommnedation is to arrive early as it could occur 30 minutes earlier or later.  It was a good thing that we arrived early as the tidal bore arrived about 15 minutes early.  Perfect timing as it was right before sunset.  

We saw someone on a paddle board go out into the water so we had hopes of an extra show, but they missed the wave and never made the ride down our way.

Tomorrow we will hit the road once again.  Maybe our next location will have some decent internet to make use of.   This post will be a late posting...internet here isn't very useful.
