Monday, June 10, 2024 (Day 35)
Saint John, New Brunswick / 8:02 a.m. / 11 degrees to Woodstock, New Brunswick / 5:30 p.m. / 15 degrees for a total of 376.5 km of driving.
We park and make our lunch enjoying the seaside of St. Andrew’s. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and it was so peaceful. We can clearly understand how people fall in love with the various waterways and want to have their home and/or cottage next to water.
With still a few hours left in the day, we decide to continue our travels and spend the night in Woodstock, New Brunswick, a town not far from the US border.
Note: We visited 3 covered bridges today. Our New Brunswick total thus far is 12.
It is a foggy morning as we leave Saint John, New Brunswick. As we drive through town, we check out where the cruise ships come in and also drove past “Container Village” on the Saint John waterfront. This village was created in 2022 with 60 container ships and is opened from late spring until mid-fall each year. Looks pretty neat. Looks like it would be a great place to check out during that day.
We ventured to the “Reversing Falls”. The Observation Deck opens at 11.00 a.m. but you can still check out where the Saint John River and the Bay of Fundy meet from the bridge or a couple of other locations with a close proximity. Interesting fact is that sailboats and pleasure crafts have to wait until “slack time” to sail between both these waterways. It is approximately a 20 minute period of time.
We are going to check out St. Andrew’s by the Sea today. As we make our way there we see a black bear crossing in the distance. Within St. Andrew’s we come across 2 deer in someone’s yard. One of them was in the ditch eating.
St. Andrew’s is a beautiful town and very well maintained. Many old structures including The Algonquin Resort which opened in 1889. New Brunswick’s first seaside resort. The cost of the room at the time was between $3.00 and $5.00 a night. For the gardens lovers the Kingsbrae Gardens looks like a lovely spot to explore from the small glimpse we saw at the main entrance.
